Liverpool transfer news - Marco Asensio bid, Sadio Mane latest, Jude Bellingham update
New Chelsea owner sends spending warning to Liverpool and rivals New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly believes that major clubs will no longer be able to sign players "at any price". US businessman Boehly fronted a consortium that took over Chelsea last month, emerging victorious in a bidding process of that lasted a number of months, ever since the sale of the club had to be expedited after former owner of 19 years - Roman Abramovich - was forced to sell the club due to him being hit by UK Government sanctions in the wake of Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, with Abramovich having had historical ties with Russian president Vladimir Putin. Last summer Chelsea were big spenders in the market, with Romelu Lukaku re-joining the Stamford Bridge club for near £100m, while Manchester City completed a deal for Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for the same sum. This summer has already seen big spending with Liverpool landing Darwin Nunez for a fee that could rise to as high as £85m, while Manchester City inked a deal for Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland, meeting his £51m release clause and committing to a weekly wage not far off £400,000 per week. But a change in approach at Chelsea is likely, one that steers them away from an era of excess. Boehly, part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team, believes that the threat of Financial Fair Play in European football getting stronger powers means that owners won't be able to operate such an open-wallet policy at clubs to lure the best players no matter the price tag.
