Clubs from Premier League They voted this Tuesday they are in favor of limiting the amortization of football players’ contracts to a maximum of five yearsregardless of their duration, prevent teams like Chelsea use it to avoid financial fair playaccording to TheAthletic.

So far, clubs could amortize the price of the signature during the duration of the contract, which is why they were signed contracts for seven, eight or nine years so that the price of the same could be declared in the greatest number of years possible. That is, a player who signed for 100 million and is covered by a ten-year contract would cost the club 10 million per year.

Seriously Pep? “If I win the treble again, I will retire,” declares Josep Guardiola

Chelsea took advantage of that in signatures like that of Enzo Fernandezwhich cost 106 million pounds (120 million euros) and signed a contract until 2031, and Mihajlo Mudrikwhich he signed for 70 million euros with a contract of eight and a half years.

This measure was voted on this Tuesday at the monthly meeting of Premier League clubs and it will not be retroactive, so it will not affect already signed contracts.

Except, In this way, the Premier League agrees with UEFA, which limits contract amortization to five years. (D)
