PSR loss limits will stay in place for next season with clubs retaining the option to sell assets to related companies at fair market value.

Overview

  • Clubs blocked a vote on changing fixed asset rules, falling short of the 14-vote threshold required to close the sister-company loophole.
  • Chelsea’s sale of its women’s team for about £200 million and two hotels for £70.5 million has underpinned its PSR compliance.
  • Under existing PSR rules, related-party asset sales at fair market value can still be counted towards profitability targets.
  • Losses remain capped at £105 million over three seasons, with exemptions for infrastructure, youth development and women’s football spending.
  • Manchester City’s challenge to the Associated Party Transaction rules is ongoing, with an arbitration hearing scheduled for October 2025.
