Chelsea set to receive huge fee from 2019 deal to ease FFP concerns

Chelsea could be set for a huge financial boost as they look to balance the books and avoid Financial Fair Play issues. The Blues are flirting with punishment after losing £90million in the last financial year, keeping in mind clubs are only allowed an adjustable loss of £105million every rolling three years.

The Blues have spent huge amounts since Todd Boehly and his partners took over the club, and outgoings have not come close to matching the money spent. There are already reports of Chelsea having to make significant sales this summer to balance the books, but they could be helped by a significant cash injection without lifting a finger.

Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala is being linked with a move away from Bayern Munich this summer, and it's reported he could go for as much as £80million. Liverpool, Manchester City and others are said to be interested, and if the 21-year-old does move on, Chelsea will pocket some serious cash.

While Musiala was allowed to leave Chelsea for Bayern's youth ranks in 2019 for around £170,000, the Blues were savvy in agreeing a sell-on fee of 20%. That means they could get as much as £16million if the fee amounts to £80million. That would be seen as a big boost for Chelsea as they look to bring in as much as £100million this summer, according to reports. It would also ease the stress of trying to sell players amid reports Romelu Lukaku, Kepa Arrizabalaga and others will be up for sale ahead of next season.

As for Musiala, he is already on his way to becoming a true superstar, scoring 31 goals in 110 league games for Bayern despite playing in either attacking midfield or out wide. He has also racked up 25 appearances for Germany, scoring twice.
