Reports have claimed that sources at Chelsea are not concerned with the current financial situation at the club.

According to ESPN, there are few issues internally despite the large transfer fees that have been spent up to now under the new ownership.

Todd Boehly has been keen to bankroll widespread change at Stamford Bridge since he took over the club back in 2022.

While last summer showed somewhat of a scattergun approach to signings, since then it has seemed as if there is far more of a plan in place.

Despite this, the finances have continued to be spent where necessary, with it totalling over £1billion since the American took over.

This has included breaking the club’s record signing twice, bringing in both Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo for big money.

A large portion of this total has also been spent on signing players with an eye for the future. The highlights of these have been Kendry Paez, Andrey Santos and Lesley Ugochukwu, who already has a Premier League start to his name.

Despite the astronomical money spent, it has emerged that there are still no concerns at the club about the financial situation at the club.

Instead, the report goes on to say that the money that is set to be invested into the club is in order to help with developments surrounding the home stadium.

It has been claimed that Boehly wants the Blues to be playing in one of the best stadiums in world football by 2030, and this may occur by either developing the current Stamford Bridge or moving the club elsewhere.
