Chelsea are facing a possible transfer ban, with Premier League CEO Richard Masters giving an update about investigation into the club for potential financial breaches when Roman Abramovich was owner of the club. Abramovich owned the Blues between 2003 and 2022, until he was sanctioned by the UK government.
The 57-year-old was eventually disqualified as a director of the club, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. When the Todd Boehly-led consortium took over in May 2022, they reported the cases of incomplete financial information during Abramovich's tenure.
In July 2023, UEFA fined Chelsea €10m for 'submitting incomplete financial information' between 2012 and 2019. But the Premier League's investigation - which could lead to a fine, points deduction or transfer ban for the Blues - was to set to examine potential links between the offshore entities and those involved in the transfers. Masters told talkSPORT: 'What we’re talking about is something historic.
