We are surviving day-by-day - Cech on Chelsea's sanction

Chelsea sporting director Petr Cech has revealed that the club has been surviving “day by day” since its owner, Roman Abramovich, was sanctioned by the UK Government.

Cech also confessed that he is unsure whether the Blues would be able to finish the season.

Sanctions have been placed, putting them in a financial bind.

Chelsea has been granted a special license, although they are unable to complete any transfers, extend contracts, sell new tickets or goods, and their travel expenditures and home match costs have been drastically cut.

“We have to realize that we go day by day, because it’s not in our control,” Cech remarked on Sunday.

“The discussions are ongoing so that we can work in a way that allows us to finish the season.

“Obviously, we’re in a difficult situation, and we’re also a part of the Premier League, one of the top competitions in the world, and I believe that if we can finish the season, it would benefit everyone involved in the Premier League.”

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
