Chelsea may accept transfer ban this summer in bid for FIFA to reduce it to just one window
Chelsea are considering accepting a transfer ban this summer so they can add to their squad again in January, according to reports.The Blues announced earlier this month that they will appeal against the FIFA ban, which was imposed against them back in February.2

Chelsea may accept the transfer ban imposed on them by FIFA in order to limit it to just one window

They were expected to ask for the ban to be put on hold pending the full hearing, however The Sun understands that will now not be the case.Chelsea, who were found guilty of 29 breaches of regulations over transferring minors, are yet to contact the Lausanne-based court.After their failed appeal to FIFA earlier this month, the west London side described themselves as very disappointed and strongly refuted the findings.In a short statement issued on Tuesday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport confirmed they are yet to receive an appeal from the Blues.Getty2

Chelsea are expected to sell Eden Hazard this summer in order to keep their FFP figures in regulation

It read: “At the time of writing, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has not received an appeal from Chelsea FC.The Sun further claim that the Blues are now eyeing damage limitation in this case, with Chelsea lawyers now holding the view that FIFAs case against them is stronger than they initially viewed it.Senior officials at the club are now hoping that by accepting the ban, FIFA will deem a transfer embargo in the main window of the season will be seen as sufficient enough punishment. The Blues would then be able to strengthen their squad when the window reopens in the winter, as they look to maintain their top-four spot in the Premier League.Chelsea have already handed new deals to David Luiz and Olivier Giroud, both of whom were previously expected to leave the club, with continued uncertainty regarding the clubs transfer ban.It is also likely that young stars such as Reece James and Mason Mount, both of whom have impressed on loan at Wigan and Derby respectively this season, will be part of the first-team squad next term.
