Title: 8 and a half years
Post by: nightporter on January 16, 2023, 12:17:27 pm

Mykhailo Mudryk  signed an 8 and a half year contract at Chelsea.  Is that the longest contract in football, seems risky.

Length of contract totally irrelevant these days in football

It allows them to meet the FFP rules as his cost is spread over the contract length.
If they sell him beforehand, any outstanding amount (on the balance sheet) will I suspect get offset against his sale.
Keiran Maguire covers it in one of his recent tweets.

I wonder whether that deal would have happened if Abramovich still owned Chelsea?
