In response to Chelsea transfer policy.
Talk about closing the stable door when the horse has bolted!
Uefa is to change its Financial Fair Play rules in response to Chelsea's recent trend of signing players on long-term contracts.
Signing players on extended contracts enables Chelsea to spread the player's transfer fee over the life of that deal when submitting their annual accounts.
That means £89m signing Mykhailo Mudryk will be valued at £11m a year over his eight-and-a-half-year deal.
Uefa is to set a five-year limit over which a transfer fee can be spread.
Clubs will still be able to offer longer deals under UK regulations but will not be able to stretch transfer fees beyond the first five years.
The change to FFP rules will come into force during the summer and will not apply retrospectively.

They also consider things like limiting teams to smaller squads to accompany that change. They won’t because that affects all top European teams, not just the ones who have figured out this specific loophole. |

They'll probably come out with "From this point forward (Except for Chelsea)...the number of new first-team loans initiated will be limited to 2,400 players in any given season."
This just in - the envelopes have arrived from the rest of the Big 6, they are exempt as well.
