Chelsea who have been spending incredible amount of money this season on transfers have been signing new players for longer-term contracts, for as long as 8 years!
This has forced UEFA to change the Financial Fair Play Rules to keep a check on clubs' financial stability over the years.
The football regulator is to set a 5-year limit over which the transfer fee could be spread and the change to the rules will come into force during summer.
Signing players for long terms allows the club to spread the player's transfer fee over the life of that deal when submitting the annual account. This means Mykhailo Mudryk's £89 million deal will stand at £11 million/year for a span of eight and a half years.
