The Premier League giants Chelsea have been in the headlines recently due to their financial struggles, and it seems that they might not be able to afford some of their star players' salaries.
According to reports, three of Chelsea's key players - Callum Hudson-Odoi, Hakim Ziyech, and Thiago Silva - earn over €80 million per year. This is more than double what the club pays other top players such as Christian Pulisic and Cesar Azpilicueta.
The club has already had to sell several players this season, including Jorginho, who was sold for €55 million, to raise funds. However, it seems that Chelsea cannot afford to pay these high salaries indefinitely, which could lead to unrest among the team.
This situation highlights the challenges that football clubs face when it comes to managing finances. While the sport generates huge revenue, clubs often struggle to keep up with the cost of living, especially in Europe where wages are relatively high compared to other sports.
It remains to be seen how Chelsea will manage their finances going forward, but one thing is certain - the club's success will depend on its ability to balance its books and retain its key players.
