Despite reports suggesting that Chelsea might need to offload players to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations, Romano emphasized that he is not aware of any such concerns behind the scenes.
Romano indicated that Chelsea are closely monitoring Hutchinson’s progress and are pleased with his development during his loan spell in the Championship.
Chelsea transfer situation explained by Fabrizio Romano
“Chelsea fans have been asking me about some reports relating to Financial Fair Play and needing to make sales this summer to avoid being in breach of regulations, so I thought I’d clarify what I’ve been told here,” Romano said.
“I don’t have precise information on Financial Fair Play and how much money they should make to avoid problems; this is more of a financial question, but my information is that Chelsea are not worried with current situation. Of course there will be sales, but it already happened last summer and it always happens in modern football.
“I also posted on X yesterday about Omari Hutchinson attracting interest after impressing on loan at Ipswich Town. His future is not decided yet, Chelsea will discuss that around May. There are clubs from different leagues keen on Omari, for example including Germany and of course England. But Chelsea will take their time, they’re very happy with how this loan has worked out.”
