Uefa Is Preparing To Act Against Chelsea (See Details)

UEFA will move quickly to prevent other clubs from imitating Chelsea’s strategy of offering players long-term contracts.

Chelsea’s plan to give its new recruits eight-year contracts has drawn criticism.

The Times said that the decision was well-considered since it enables the west London club to further stretch out the expense of a transfer on their books.

Such a method enables the Blues to increase their upfront spending on new players without breaking Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.

The article further said that UEFA will shortly announce regulations to stop such actions.

The governing body of European football will make sure that player contracts may only be divided up by a maximum of five years on the books.
