Uefa has a wide-ranging list of potential punishments for clubs which break these rules, including warnings, fines, removal from competitions or even the loss of European titles.for breaching FFP rules between 2012 and 2019, while Chelsea were fined £8.57m for breaches that took place during previous owner Roman Abramovich's time at the club. Manchester United were also fined 300,000 euros by Uefa for a "minor" breach of its rules in July.
Chelsea will need to keep raising funds, either through player sales, increased commercial deals or prize money, to keep balancing the books over the length of their new signings' long contracts. The return of European football, particularly the more lucrative Champions League, is also likely to be important to Chelsea's strategy - as is lowering their wage structure.
