Current book value is around £30m, Chelsea wrote off £77m in their player values in 2021/22, Lukaku would almost certainly be one of the players affected.Sounds like you guys are trying to dodge the massive incoming FFP loss if you sell him for the expected amount of around 35m. Current book value is 58m. Loan him and you postpone the loss for another year when his book value drops to 39m. Might even still get 30m for him then plus a loan fee.

They impaired the value of a number of their players in 21/22. £77m worth.He was signed at the start of season 21/22 for 98m on a 5 year contract. 19.5m a season in amortisation. Not sure where you get a book value of 30m from. Also loaned last season.
They impaired the value of a number of their players in 21/22. £77m worth.
They took the loss in 21/22 so that the book value of some of their players would be smaller in future years.
They don't specify the players but Lukaku is the obvious one.
How is Impairment not legitimate?He really isn't. He was a new signing in 21/22 pre Boehly on a 5 year deal. Don't see any legitimate way 70m can be amortised in 2 years.
Otherwise all clubs would play around with amortisation figures to meet FFP every year. It would be a farce.
How is Impairment not legitimate?
Boehly hadn't taken over in 21/22
That article does explain it clearlyHe took over in May 2022 and plenty of those signings went on the 21/22 books.

Chelsea become first club to accumulate losses exceeding £1billion
Despite eye-watering figures, Chelsea maintain they continue to comply with Financial Fair Play regulationswww.standard.co.uk
Lukakus book value is just over 60m.
“These accounts for 2021-22 are distorted by some unusual features, such as the high pay-offs to former directors and substantial write-downs of players of £77m. I suspect a considerable element of this was in respect to Romelu Lukaku.
That article does explain it clearly
Boehly was appointed as a director on 1 June 2022.
It's guesswork, but you could say there's 3 years left, and Chelsea are asking £8-10m loan fee.It doesn't explain how you come up with a book figure of 30m.
Does Ange plan to play him as a ST or just across the front 3?50m on Brennan Johnson apparently.
Does Ange plan to play him as a ST or just across the front 3?
Would be an odd swerve. Throw out a sexual deviant and bring in a murderer.
Thats the rumour why we are happy to sell at that price.Current book value is around £30m
