Chelsea declared losses of 96.6 million pounds in the fiscal year 2018/19, reports Sky Sports.

The club’s turnover grew to 446.7 million pounds, but non-participation in the Champions League, the cost of a change of coach and record expenses for signing players led to losses.

The above financial period included transfers by Kepa Arrisabalagi (? 72 million), Christian Pulisic (57.6), Mateo Kovacic (40.5) and Jorginho (51.3).

Nevertheless, the club claims that they fit into the requirements of financial fair play from UEFA.

Chelsea, after 20 rounds of the Premier League, is in fourth place, ahead of Manchester United by four points and six behind the third Man City. Today, the “blue” will play against Brighton, the match will begin at 14:30.
