Chelsea have splashed more than £600 million ($723m) in the last two transfer windows on 17 new players, including eight in January. The Blues have come under plenty of scrutiny for their spending habits, but they are planning on asking for an exemption from the Premier League's spending rules after previous owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the British government last year, according to the Daily Mail.
The measures were imposed due to the oligarch's links to Vladimir Putin following the invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces in February 2022, with Chelsea punished as a result. That lost income has put them at risk of a breach after the Blues posted a loss of £153m ($184m) in their financial accounts for the year ending 2021, with Premier League clubs only permitted to make a loss of £105m ($125.5m) over any three-year period.
