Chelsea also fined £10m by The FA for self-reported historical financial irregularities

When BlueCo bought Chelsea Football Club from Roman Abramovich in the sale forced by the UK government four years ago, the new ownership group found some financial irregularities in the books relating to historical transfers (a.k.a. “incomplete” financial information, a.k.a. secret payments to agents and the like), including during the signing of Eden Hazard for […]

Napoli linked with Benoît Badiashile — reports

Benoît Badiashile’s time at Chelsea since his arrival three and a half years ago has not been amazing, with the 25-year-old center back limited by poor form and annual multi-month injuries.

Pedro Neto linked with Manchester City, Liverpool — report

Pedro Neto has been ever-present since his arrival from Wolverhampton Wanderers, making over 100 appearances in all competitions in just two seasons, scoring 19 goals and adding the same amount of assists.

Bradley Barcola rudely interrupted this otherwise quite quiet Sunday in the football-verse by rejecting PSG’s latest contract extension offer and thus putting himself front and center in the rumor mill.
