Newcastle rivals’ £74.5m exchange highlights FFP reward that encouraged Chelsea and Aston Villa

To make sure transactions involving Newcastle United’s competitors are made in “utmost good faith,” the Premier League will keep an eye on them.

Only twenty-four hours after midfielder Tim Iroegbunam left Everton for Aston Villa for a reported £9 million,

Lewis Dobbin signed with the same team.”

Omari Kellyman, another highly regarded Villa Academy alum,

is almost finished with a £19 million transfer to Chelsea,

who will allow Ian Maatsen to join Villa for £37.5 million.

Since the new entrants will all be given long-term contracts, the buying club can spread the transfer cost over five years.

These mutually beneficial arrangements will bank these clubs pure profit before Sunday,

which is the deadline for the financial year and the current PSR cycle.

These actions once again highlight the quirk of the Premier League’s financial rules.

which effectively reward clubs for selling academy products, even at the 11th hour.

It is crucial to emphasise that no misbehaviour has been accused.

Maatsen is a senior Dutch international who was playing for Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final only a few weeks ago.

as Chelsea, for example, might rightfully point out.

Villa can bring up the example of how Manchester City earned over £40 million from Southampton two years ago by selling academy graduates

who had never participated in the Premier League while discussing Kellyman,

who has only made two appearances in the top division.

That being said, Premier League executives have taken note of the flurry of transfers involving Everton.

Chelsea and Aston Villa, which will total approximately £74.5 million.

According to Rule B15 of the Premier League rules, every club, official, and director “shall behave towards each other club,

official, director, and the league with the utmost good faith” in all situations and transactions connected to the league.

“For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example only,

it shall be a breach of the duties under this rule to act dishonestly towards the league or another club;

or engage in conduct that is intended to circumvent these rules or obstruct the board’s investigation of compliance with them,” it states.

If Newcastle’s asking price is satisfied, they may sell Yankuba Minteh.

one of their own players this week, but not to Everton.
