Chelsea have been slapped with a €31million (£26.8m) fine by UEFA which could rise to €91m (£78.5m) if certain conditions are not achieved over the next four years after being found to have broken financial rules.
European football's governing body announced on Friday that Chelsea had agreed to a settlement which will see them pay an unconditional fine of €20m (£17.3m) for not complying with their 'football earnings rule' which was assessed for the first time in the 2024-25 season. That could increase to €80m (£69m) if they do not comply with targets set by UEFA.
