November 20th, "Daily Mail" reported that this Friday, local time, Premier League clubs will vote on whether to introduce a new and controversial salary cap system. Chelsea has not yet disclosed their voting intentions.

This system is called the "anchoring mechanism", and the core rule is that each club's spending limit must not exceed 5 times the bonuses and broadcast revenue of the bottom team in the standings.

Take the 23-24 season as an example. At that time, Sheffield United was ranked bottom in the Premier League and they received 109.5 million pounds in revenue. Calculated based on this data, the salary cap ceiling is approximately 550 million pounds.

In April 2024, 16 Premier League clubs voted to resolve measures related to exploring expenditure caps. Three clubs clearly opposed it. It is reported that Chelsea chose to abstain at that time. Today, the Blues remain silent ahead of this crucial upcoming vote.
