Chelsea's Maresca Criticizes Premier League Rules

News summary

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has criticized the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules (PSR) for compelling clubs to sell homegrown players, citing the expected sale of Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid as the latest example. Gallagher, who has been with Chelsea since age eight, could leave for free after his contract ends in 2025, prompting clubs to view academy graduates as vital revenue sources. Maresca emphasized that this issue affects all Premier League clubs, not just Chelsea, as these sales allow clubs to record pure profit and navigate strict financial regulations. He lamented the loss of loyalty seen in players like Francesco Totti and called for changes to protect academy talent. Chelsea has sold several academy players in recent years, contributing to their record spending of over £1bn on new signings. The Premier League season kicks off for Chelsea against Manchester City on August 18.
