Simon Jordan has told Todd Boehly which three players Chelsea must sell this summer in order to solve the club's recent financial losses. On Monday, the Blues reported losses of £121million in the 2021/22 financial year, which ended in June 2022.
Therefore, only the early months of the Boehly and Clearlake Capital regime contributed to the results, having completed their takeover in late May. In an official statement from the west London outfit, the club outlined the financial ramifications of losing match-day income following the sanctioning of former owner Roman Abramovich.
Of course, this is was just one factor which impacted Chelsea's annual report but not something which can be overlooked. Another avenue which can raise funds for the clubs is via player sales and Boehly has been told to fill his boots at the end of the season.
