European football governing body, UEFA will take a quick action to stop other clubs from copying Chelsea’s style of handing long-term contracts to players.
The Blues have taken the decision to offer long term deals to their new signings, raising eyebrows.
According to the Times, the move was thoughtful, as it lets the West London club further spread out the cost of a transfer on their books.
Such a move allows the Blues to spend more money upfront on new players without falling foul of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
The report added that UEFA would soon introduce rules to prevent such measures.
The European football governing body will ensure that within financial statements, player deals can only be split up by a maximum of five years on the books.]]p
