75 million pounds by the Premier League. The club has also received a nine-month transfer ban at the academy level and a conditional one-year transfer ban at the senior level. The sanctions come after Chelsea voluntarily reported potential historical rule breaches.

The violations reportedly involved failures to report payments to unregistered agents and other third-party interests, occurring between 2011 and 2018. According to reports, the current owners, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, discovered the irregularities from the time of former owner Roman Abramovich and alerted the Premier League. The Premier League stated that the club's cooperation led to a lighter penalty, avoiding points deductions.

Chelsea was previously fined by UEFA last year for breaches of financial rules.
