Chelsea news transfer ban
Chelsea FC has been involved in several transfer-related controversies and news stories over the years. Here are some recent updates on the club's transfer ban:
Transfer Ban: In September 2019, Chelsea was banned from signing new players for two windows (summer 2019 and winter 2020) by FIFA due to breaches of the organization's transfer regulations. The ban was imposed after Chelsea was found guilty of inducing a third party to make a payment in relation to the transfer of French midfielder Bertrand Traoré from Olympique Lyonnais to Vitesse Arnhem in 2017.
Appeal: Chelsea appealed the ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which heard the case in June 2020. On June 12, 2020, CAS reduced the ban to one window (summer 2020) and fined Chelsea £29.7 million.
Summer 2020 Transfer Window: Despite the reduced ban, Chelsea was still unable to sign new players during the summer 2020 transfer window. The club's transfer ban was lifted on September 14, 2020, allowing them to sign new players in the winter 2020 transfer window.
Winter 2020 Transfer Window: Chelsea was active in the winter 2020 transfer window, signing players such as Hakim Ziyech from Ajax and Timo Werner from RB Leipzig.
Current Situation: Chelsea is currently free to sign new players and has been active in the transfer market, signing players such as Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen and Thiago Silva from Paris Saint-Germain.
