Chelsea report £128.4m profit after selling women’s side to themselves.
Chelsea appear to have complied with the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) through player sales by selling the women’s team to the club’s parent company. Chelsea announced they had turned last year’s pre-tax loss of £90.1m into a pre-tax profit of £128.4m for the financial year ending 30 June 2024.
The results were filed at Companies House by Chelsea FC Holdings Limited and represent a significant shift after heavy losses under the ownership of Clearlake Capital and Todd Boehly in previous years.
Although Chelsea’s revenue dipped to £468.5m after another season out of the Champions League for the men’s team, they said their financial picture “benefited from increased profit on disposal of player registrations and repositioning of Chelsea Football Club Women Ltd”.
