Last week, in the wake of the sanctions imposed on Roman Abramovich, which left Chelsea in a very awkward position, the team The club’s main sponsor, the telecom giant “Three”, has officially requested Londoners are temporarily suspending their sponsorship and will also not appear on the front of the shirt. The application has been submitted, it has been officially announced, but two games have already been released and The care is still there. And on Wednesday, against Lille, the situation should not change. The reason… is unusual. According to Goal, the fact that the shirt still bears the sponsor’s name is mainly due to a lack of funds to make new prints. As at the moment, in the face of sanctions against Abramovich, Chelsea are living on a tight budget, and printing new shirts, when there is still a large amount in stock, is not on the priority list. However, Jules wrote, negotiations are currently underway with Nike, the club’s sports equipment supplier, in order to find a solution that satisfies all parties. It should be noted that the American brand is the only one that continues to maintain the primary sponsorship agreement with the club – worth 71.4 million euros annually – unlike Three, Hyundai and Zapp. In the case of all three, bail makes 47.6 million annually.
