Chelsea have found another way around it now. PIF allegedly have a stake in the company that owns Chelsea and also own four clubs in Saudi, who now appear to have several Chelsea players.

Including Newcastle of course.

Of course, and I would expect that they’ll be under the microscope if they announce Neves on loan.

If that happens, then the can of worms they’re just managing to keep shut, SHOULD spill all over the shop.

You shouldn’t be amazed. They only react when there’s ‘outrage’, or it makes them look bad for allowing it to happen. There’s never anything done proactively

It's all about keeping the major clubs sweet and trying to prevent another war with FIFA. 

If enough big money clubs got pissed off with UEFA then the breakaway league would happen. It didn't get off the ground last time because FIFA backed UEFA however LIV golf and the re-merger has happened since. FIFA could go with the clubs, especially if it turned into a Saudi backed World League, as sanctioning players with World Cup bans undermines FIFA's worth and TV deals. 

Anything happened like that and UEFA would be reduced to being like CONCACAF with the status of its domestic competitions. So they play a game of 'seeing to be doing'

Chelsea getting them in while they can….

Another EIGHT year deal
