The £247m bonus Roman Abramovich gave Chelsea after missing out on Champions League

Chelsea chief Roman Abramovich gave his club £247m last season as the club invested heavily in the transfer market and had to miss  Champions League. Accounts published by the club reveal that Chelsea's parent company, Fordstam, which is controlled by the Russian, provided net funding of £247million to the club. This came as Chelsea revealed pre-tax losses of a colossal £102million for the year ending June 2019. The club spent a record £72million to sign goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao, while midfielder Jorginho followed head coach Maurizio Sarri from Napoli for more than £50million.
