Some UEFAnomics.
According to The Times every List A eligible player count towards creating a positive transfer balance, even those who weren't previously registered.
Neither Fofana nor Lavia were registered, but the latter is now eligible for our List B so he shouldn't add to our List A cost.

Hmm, he'd take up an international loan slot. Washington already took one, as he's still on loan at Santos until Dec/Jan. Paez, Amougou, and potentially Penders to Strasbourg would be another three.
Leaves just one slot.

🚨 Dortmund are in talks with Chelsea for a new season-long loan for Carney Chukwuemeka. German side hoping to finalise after the Club World Cup.
Chukwuemeka will stay at Dortmund for the rest of the Club World Cup. This was agreed before the end of the season, but finalised last night.🟡⚫️

With City and Inter out, not reaching the final would be a bit embarrassing. It’d push our CWC income above $100M.

Aston Villa have sold their women's team to V Sports, which owns the club, alongside a minority stake to new investors. Allows #AVFC to record profit in 24-25 accounts - and their PSR calculation.

If this game was played on June 30th but ended after midnight UK time due to the delay, then the accounting gets a bit wonky since it rolls into a new fiscal year. 🤓🤪

This is fine. Madueke just played 70 mins last game and Andrey Santos is just a backup to Enzo F. (For now anyway)
Chelsea XI to face Benfica: Sanchez; James, Badiashile, Colwill, Cucurella; Lavia, Caicedo; Palmer, Fernandez, Neto; Delap.

Knowing is we'll brief the fee, which will likely be disgusting, 15 mins before the game tonight.

He's cup-tied for the CWC(13 mins played lmao), so we can't add him to our squad if we beat Benfica tonight. Same goes for Estevão Willian, but looks like either Benfica or us will play Palmeiras in the QF anyway.

Relatively big sale for someone like S'bourg, but they could be in for a rough season.
Replacing Petro, Diarra and Santos is a tall order.
€35.5m (including add-ons) is a bit over half of Strasbourg's total revenue for 23/24 (€67.2m).

🚨🔴⚪️ EXCLUSIVE: Sunderland agree deal to sign Habib Diarra as new midfielder from RC Strasbourg, here we go! Understand agreement has been reached tonight between clubs for €35.5m package add-ons included. Sell-on clause also included and medical tests booked. #SAFC 💣

Beating Benfica on Saturday would earn Chelsea another $13.125m, bringing the total to roughly $53m/£39m. All of which should be recognised in 2024/25, with any additional prize money recognised in 2025/26.
$9.5m in the bank, brings our total to about $40m.

I'd be happy to trade Nkunku at BV + £10m for Garnacho, would value the latter at ~£50m.
No profit for us, but UEFA would eliminate any profit from any quasi-swap deal anyway.
United would book a £50m accounting/PSR profit, and £10m UEFA profit that's irrelevant since they're not in Eur.

Woohoo, we're up to $31m. $29m for turning up and another $2m for beating Giroud's retirement buddies.

Well, £15m is not £25m.
I can live with that fee, assuming we haven't given him too long of a contract.

He is another Delap-esque signing.
He is fairly low risk, high reward at that fee, but he won't improve our starting XI next season.
Anything below £35m is fine.

🚨 Chelsea have submitted a bid in the region of £30m for Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens.
Gittens has agreed terms on a seven-year contract.
#CFC optimistic despite no club-to-club agreement.
