Chelsea to face financial problems due to lack of sponsors
Chelsea may face financial challenges under the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) due to their inability to secure a front-of-shirt sponsor. Despite their efforts to reduce spending in the recent transfer window, questions remain about the club’s financial health, with tensions reported between co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.
The lack of sponsorship income is a key issue for Chelsea as they attempt to stay within the PSR’s three-year loss limit of £105 million for the 2024/25 season. Exceeding this threshold could result in a points deduction, putting the club at a competitive disadvantage.
Chelsea’s ongoing struggle to secure a shirt sponsor for the second consecutive season is considered a major setback, potentially reducing kit sales and leading to a significant loss in revenue. Nike, Chelsea’s kit sponsor, has also expressed concerns about the impact of this situation on sales. Initially seeking £60 million for the sponsorship rights, the club has now lowered their asking price to £30 million due to the delay in finding a partner.

Furthermore, the upcoming Club World Cup is not expected to generate substantial financial gains, highlighting the importance for Chelsea to focus on increasing their commercial revenue to avoid further issues.
