Chelsea and Todd Boehly will receive around €81m ahead of the January transfer window following their progress to the Champions League knockout stages. The Blues topped their group with four wins and will learn their last-16 opponents on Monday morning.
The west Londoners won four straight games following Graham Potter's appointment in September to finish above AC Milan, Red Bull Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb. However, they have struggled to replicate their European form in the Premier League with them currently sat sixth following last week's shock 4-1 defeat to Brighton.
With the World Cup approaching at pace, work has already begun behind-the-scenes over the potential of delving into the transfer market in January to improve Potter's squad. Frenkie de Jong, Cristiano Ronaldo and Christopher Nkunku have been three wholesale names linked with a move to Chelsea and Boehly could be tempted to secure a big signing with the lump sum the club are set to receive from UEFA.
