Chelsea have been told they have to make £60 million in player sales if they want to register new signings for next season´s Champions League campaign.

As it stands, new signings Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Estevao Willian, Dario Essugo and Mamadou Sarr cannot play in next season’s Champions League.

The Blues are understood to be calm regarding the matter and have plenty of players already on the transfer list to help make funds.

Arsenal are highly interested in winger Noni Madueke, with Chelsea said to be demanding £50 million for his sale, a large portion of the money needed.

Chelsea and Aston Villa have reportedly been warned by UEFA that player swap deals will be monitored closely to make sure fees have not been inflated.

UEFA are believed to have taken issue with at least one previous deal, according to The Times.

In recent years Premier League clubs have paid sizeable fees to each other in instances where players have moved in each direction.

And there have been protests from rivals that this has been done with the aim of artificially increasing transfer income in order to comply with Profitability and Sustainability Rules.

Earlier this month it was revealed that UEFA had stepped in to knock down the value of at least one deal that involved the two clubs.

The Blues have been hit with a €31million (£26.8m) fine for breaching UEFA´s financial rules.

UEFA stated at the time that they had looked at ´transactions involving the exchange of players´ and that those ´required specific adjustments to the club´s financial result´.

The Times add that that UEFA will continue to scrutinise all such swap deals but Chelsea and Villa will be particularly under the microscope following their settlements.

Omari Kellyman joined Chelsea from Villa for £19m last summer but is yet to make an appearance for the club.

Ian Maatsen, a product of the Chelsea academy, went the other way for £37.5m and went on to play 29 times for the club in the top flight last term.

Both clubs have agreed that they will be excluded from European competition for a season should they breach the settlement.

Så de vil helt sikkert kigge på hvis nu Aston Villa køber Jackson og Chelsea køber Rodgers.

Chelsea make new contact with Marc Guehi over possible transfer

Chelsea are long-term admirers of Marc Guehi, and with just a year left on his contract a move this summer looks very possible.

It has been reported that Crystal Palace have accepted that Guehi is going to leave the club, and the Blues are circling around a potential deal.

Journalist Simon Phillips has claimed that Chelsea have made contact with Guehi’s agents to try and establish whether they would be successful in attempting to bring him to the club, and the defender is interested in a move to West London.

He said on his Substack: “SPTC sources understand that Chelsea have again made new contact with the agents of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, a player who has been on Chelsea’s defender shortlist for some time now.

Der er rygter om nu at Jackson er lidt utilfreds over 2 tilgange som han skal kæmpe om spilletid med, om det er sandt må vi se

Selvom jeg ville elske dit United-Villa-Chelsea scenarie, så tvivler jeg på at Villa både sælger Watkins og Rogers i samme vindue. :)
