Oh damn. This means we paid him to void his contract. Honestly would have rather kept him than pay him to leave. He is homegrown so at least does not take up a spot 

Bettinelli, Chalobah, James, Chilwell, RLC, Gallagher, Mount and Sterling are all over 21 years old (cut-off point January 1st 2001 for this season) so they already take the full 8 homegrown spots in the PL squad. That means any further players will need to be registered in the 17 non-HG places whether they'd be eligible for the HG status or not. That means Barkley would take a spot in the non-HG quota if he were registered.

I also don't think he'll get paid his full salary for the 22/23 season to terminate the contract but rather the wage difference between his previous salary at Chelsea and his no doubt lower wage somewhere else. It wouldn't make a lot of sense for him to get his full wages from us and then another salary from his new club on top. In that case the club would save at least a little bit of money in getting rid of him now rather than next year when his contract is up.

And even if there was enough room in the squad to register him (and there isn't) I don't think he'd get to play because I'm pretty sure the likes of Chukwuemeka and Casadei have been promised some opportunities in the first team in case there's a big injury crisis.

Rumors in Italy are saying that it would likely be either a free transfer following a contract termination, or a loan deal.

If there wasn't a market for Barkley to be sold for a fee, there likely isn't one for Bakayoko either.

It is interesting how the different owners are handling the loaned players differently. I don't think Bohley wants to continue the loan army for profit, also changes in how many loaned players a club can have.

Yep. Boehly already showed with Lukaku and Werner that he can be ruthless and take a financial hit to get rid of a flop, though it has to be said it's probably easier to do that when you're not the one who's bought them in the first place. Next we'll just need to see how Boehly does when the player in question is someone he's been involved in buying himself.

But either way it makes sense to cut ties with the likes of Bakayoko, Batshuayi etc. if at all possible. It's been clear for a long time there just isn't a market for them to be sold. Marina kept extending their deals in hopes they'll eventually prove good enough somewhere that a buyer can be found but it just very rarely happened. Would need to see the full financial details of the loan deals (percentage of salary paid by the loan club and how big the loan fee was) to be certain of whether Marina's tactic was a good one or not.

Man, Ajax have made like 200m in sales this summer but are crying poor when it comes to buying Ziyech back for 30m? 

Who they've sold us for 40?

I bet some teams love doing business with Chelsea.

 

Anyway, Ajax only needs so much strength - their league is too small for them and Europe is too big. They need players to flip for profit and Ziyech is mostly spent in this matter, given he had lost over half of market value since he was sold.
