Chelsea are facing a challenge to comply with Uefa’s financial rules after the European governing body confirmed that it does not allow clubs to register income from selling assets to sister companies.
The Premier League has yet to close loopholes that have allowed Chelsea to register the sale of two hotels to a sister company for £76.5million, and to sell the women’s team to the club’s parent company.
Uefa confirmed that its rules did not allow for clubs to register income from selling assets to sister companies, but stressed that all cases would have to be assessed individually by its independent panel. Such transactions are also banned by the English Football League for clubs in the Championship, League One and League Two.
