Chelsea will be able to register all newcomers in the Champions League: why this is possible.
Absence of Mudryk Benefits Chelsea
According to The Sun: Mykhailo Mudryk, the Ukrainian winger of Chelsea, could not boast of success at the club even before his suspension due to a failed anti-doping test. However, his absence has unexpectedly turned into a positive for the team.
GettyThe absence of Mudryk may significantly ease Chelsea's registration of all five key newcomers for the Champions League: Joao Pedro, Jamie Hitting, Jorell Hato, Liam Delap, and Estevan Willian.
Chelsea is confident in their abilities, but to fully understand the situation, it is necessary to familiarize oneself with UEFA regulations, adhere to certain conditions regarding transfer fees and salaries, and also work a bit with the numbers.
After Chelsea was fined £27 million for financial rule violations in previous seasons, the club's ability to make summer signings has been restricted. Additionally, the total value of the 'A' list of 25 players submitted for the Champions League cannot exceed the value of the players who were in the squad at the playoff stage of the Conference League last season.
Although Mudryk has been suspended since December, he was included in the squad for the Conference League. He continues to earn £97,000 per week, so excluding him from the calculations this season frees up a significant budget.
Moreover, Mudryk's transfer value is estimated at approximately £17 million, which exceeds the costs for signing Estevan and Hato.
