Chelsea Receive €2.6M UEFA Boost Ahead of Summer Transfers

As the team prepares for a crucial summer transfer window, Chelsea have received a financial boost of approximately £2.2 million (€2.62 million) from UEFA under the EURO 2024 Club Benefits Programme. This initiative compensates clubs for allowing their players to represent national teams during the international calendar. The payout is part of a wider €233 million (£200 million) distribution to 901 clubs across Europe for the 2020–2024 cycle.

Under manager Enzo Maresca, Chelsea are targeting reinforcements in several key areas, notably a striker to support Nicolas Jackson, with names like Victor Osimhen, Benjamin Sesko, Jonathan David, and Liam Delap linked to the club. Delap is reportedly available for just £30 million. Additionally, the club may seek a new goalkeeper following underwhelming performances by Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen, although Djordje Petrovic’s return from loan at Strasbourg could change plans.
