Chelsea have been ordered to pay a £10.75 million fine by the Premier League and also received a one-window transfer ban that will remain suspended for the next two years. The sanctions relate to historic regulatory violations that occurred during the ownership of Roman Abramovich.
The development was confirmed on Monday in an extensive statement published on the Premier League’s official website.
According to the statement, Chelsea had earlier informed the league about possible breaches of its regulations through a voluntary disclosure.
Following that report, the west London club was formally charged by the Football Association in September last year.
After reviewing the case, an independent commission concluded that Chelsea violated several rules connected to financial reporting, third-party investments and matters involving youth development.
Chelsea are currently owned by the BlueCo consortium led by Todd Boehly, which completed the takeover of the club from Abramovich in 2022.
