Thanks for the stuff on FFP and PSR bro
But my point actually relates to Cole Palmer's very high quality football skill ability at only 22yo and English as well
Why then would Pep & City want to sell such an extremely valuable long term asset like Palmer?
And surely Palmer is much more valuable than £40m?
Also not forgetting that Chelsea is a potential local rival
Clearly Chelsea got a very good bargain deal

Means when Man City sells him, it's an immediate $40m profit in their accounts (he was a Man City academy graduate so considered $0 cost to the club.) Plus $40M into this financial year. Very useful for Financial Fair Play. Same reason why Man U sold academy graduates Mason Greenwood and Scott McTominay.
For Chelsea, the $40m cost is spread over the length of his contract. So if a 5 year contract is given, this $40m transfer will appear as a $8m cost over 5 financial years.
The actual term if you wish to google is (Profit and Sustainability Rules -PSR)
