Chelsea now ready to sell Liverpool target to balance £1billion transfer budget

Everton’s 10-point deduction for losing £19.5 million more than the accepted £105 million over three years serves as a stark reminder to Premier League clubs that they must adhere to the rules in order to be financially sustainable.

Manchester City is currently under investigation, with 115 charges leveled against the champions, but Chelsea is also under scrutiny after spending over £1 billion since Toddy Boehly purchased the club in May 2022.

Despite contract loopholes that allowed them to skirt FFP guidelines, their spending has been outrageous.

Despite finding a way around UEFA’s regulations, Chelsea risk violating Premier League rules if they do not generate enough revenue from player sales.

Conor Gallagher is one player they are considering selling. Liverpool are interested in the midfielder, and Chelsea, according to the Athletic, are willing to listen to offers worth more than £40 million.

Jurgen Klopp requires a defensive midfielder more than another tireless box-to-box performer, but Gallagher’s skill set lends itself to Liverpool’s tactics.
