Chelsea could face '£250m' transfer problem next season - Stefan Borson
Amortisation fees at Chelsea could rise to £250million next season after they complete their summer transfer business.
That is the view of finance expert Stefan Borson, who exclusively told Football Insider that Chelsea will add £40million to their amortisation fees if they spend £200million this summer.
Chelsea are understood to be close to the limit of Profit and Sustainability Rules after spending over £700million on transfers since being taken over by Todd Boehly.
The Blues announced losses of £90million in 2022-23 which puts the club close to the allowable losses of £105million under PSR.
Borson previously told Football Insider that Chelsea must have something "up their sleeve" to avoid a PSR breach in 2022-23.
With their spending expected to continue this summer, Borson believes the Londoners could end up with amortisation fees of £250million.
Chelsea amortisation set to climb to £250m this summer
"It looks as though Chelsea could spend up to £200million gross this summer," Borson told Football Insider.
"Under the five-year amortisation cap, £200million of spending will increase amortisation costs by £40million per year.
"The players they are looking to move on means they will get pure profit if they sell a young player, but of course they will not save on amortisation because they are in the books at zero.
"So we could end up in a situation where possibly in 2024-25, they have an amortisation cost of £250million.
"If they have a turnover of £450million, amortisation costs of £250million and a wage bill of £300million - you can see very quickly that they will have an operating loss which cannot continue."
