Chelsea have posted a net profit of almost £130million in their latest accounts published on Monday, after selling the women's team to the west London club's parent company.
A statement on the Blues' website did not specify for how much the women's team was sold to Blueco, the holding company used in Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital's takeover three years ago, but said 'profit on disposal of subsidiaries' was £198.7m.
The move, according to The Times, helped Chelsea avoid breaching the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules last season, with the club continuing to splash out on a glut of new players since Boehly and Clearlake Capital's arrival in May 2022, spending over £1billion on transfers.
