Chelsea face a huge challenge to avoid breaching Premier League sustainability rules after posting an £89.8 million ($112 million) loss for the 2022/23 season. The Blues' wage bill soared to over £400 million last season, while they splashed out £745 million on transfer fees. But that investment in the club's first full season under an American investment consortium fronted by LA Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly failed to deliver success on the field. Chelsea finished 12th in the Premier League last season despite having the second highest wage bill, behind only English champions Manchester City. Mauricio Pochettino's men currently sit ninth in the table this season despite a further £454 million being spent on new players since June 30, 2023. Chelsea's losses were mitigated by the sale of a hotel for £76.3m to the club's parent company BlueCo. Figures for the current season are likely to be even worse as Chelsea are not involved in European football
