Getty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE
As it stands, Chelsea's summer signings, Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Estevao Willian, Dario Essugo and Mamadou Sarr cannot play in UEFA competitions unless Chelsea’s incoming fees outweigh their outgoing costs. With players like Romeo Lavia and Wesley Fofana also yet to be registered on List A, Chelsea’s balance sheet is rapidly filling up. The club is now relying on permanent outgoings to reach the necessary margin for eligibility.
Getty Images SportWHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?
The Blues must act quickly in the market, with names like Joao Felix, Raheem Sterling and Christopher Nkunku all potentially available to balance the books. The club will also entertain offers for Noni Madueke, who has received solid interest from Arsenal. With UEFA's September 2 registration deadline looming, sales, not signings, are now Chelsea's top priority.
