Europe’s top football governing body has fined Chelsea Football Club €31mn for breaching financial regulations, as part of a crackdown on some of the continent’s top teams. Uefa punished Chelsea for breaching its football earnings rule on permissible losses and a related constraint on how much clubs can spend on player wages and transfers as a percentage of their revenue.

Denzel Dumfries is being linked with a move to Barcelona in the summer transfer window to help boost the club’s defence. The Netherlands international has a €25 million release clause in his contract at Inter which can reportedly be activated up until the middle of July.
