The Blues made a strategic decision to sell two hotels to a sister company in order to comply with Premier League financial regulations and safeguard their financial standing.
Despite the curious nature of the transactions, they have been cleared by the Premier League.
Per the BBC, the sales have since been ratified by the Premier League as being fair market value.
Chelsea have maintained their confidence that they did not do anything wrong in this instance.
Whether such a loophole will remain in place for the future is not clear at the moment.
