However, their accounts showed the sale of their Copthorne and Millennium hotels at Stamford Bridge for \u00a376.5 million to a sister company, a move that generated controversy.\n\nIn addition, the club sold its women&#8217;s team to parent company BlueCo for a record \u00a3200 million in women&#8217;s football. UEFA is still investigating both transactions in relation to its own Financial Fair Play rules.\n\nChelsea have continued their investment in new players, committing over \u00a31.2 billion since the Todd Boehly\/Clearlake Capital ownership took over in May 2022. Maresca insisted that there have been no conversations about the monetary importance of succeeding at the Club World Cup.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The owners only want the best for us and for the players, match after match.
