Chelsea sold their women’s team to owners BlueCo last summer for around £200million, helping them turn their previous £90million loss for 2022-23 into a £128million profit for 2023-24.

The Times reported on 28 July Everton have sold their women’s team to a parent company in a move that should generate a paper profit of tens of millions of pounds that could help the club make new signings and still comply with the PSR rules.

However, Everton finance expert Paul Quinn reported on 28 July Everton have “not done a Chelsea” regarding the women’s team.

He added the ownership transfer has not been completed at a vast profit, while the profit for Roundhouse will occur once it brings in new investors.

This article contains exclusive comment from Stefan Borson, a former financial adviser to Man City.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson said: “There is some suggestion that they’ve just moved the women’s team out at a very modest profit and, therefore, not created this PSR benefit. 

“If they have done that and have effectively extinguished that PSR option on the women’s team, that would be an extraordinary thing to have done because it would make no sense.

“Then to have done that in the context of actually needing PSR capacity because of the challenge that they’ve got with the squad, that would be an extraordinary thing to have done, which is why I just don’t believe they have. 

“I’m sure that they’ve done a deal to create PSR capacity by selling the women’s team, but they do seem to be briefing something slightly different.”

In terms of a potential incoming, Football Insider revealed on 2 August Everton could agree a deal to sign Tyler Dibling for half of Southampton’s initial asking price this summer. 

Sources say the 19-year-old will be available for £50million, with the Saints initially valuing him at £100million.
