While the cash has not yet been paid, all 20 clubs voted for a cash refund for this mandate.
Instead, refunds will now be paid over the two seasons to give Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal a boost.
This will save Liverpool champions around 21 million pounds for their 2019-2020 accounts, Jurgen Klopp’s team will charge around 174 million pounds for the campaign.
CASH FLOW ALIVIO – ICYMI
Premier League clubs have an additional 170 million pounds for this season, after delayed clubs pay on Covid-19 TV.
Domestic and foreign broadcasters have forced Prem clubs to settle for a refund of around 330 million pounds for the closure of three months.
This despite the resumption of the League in June and its brooch last month.
It was initially anticipated that £170m would have to be paid from this season’s planned income, a significant blow to clubs who face starting next term behind closed doors…
LET’S GO TO CHIL OUT
Some of Chelsea’s bosses are convinced through two of Frank Lampard’s main goals, according to reports.
The Blues have been closely connected to Declan Rice of West Ham and Ben Chilwell of Leicester, but there are doubts about their suitability in the ranks of Western Londoners.
Sports reporter David Ornstein told Tifo’s podcast: “We know your interest in Chilwell, but I don’t think everyone in Chelsea is convinced of the prices it will cost to get it out of Leicester’s hands, about 50 million pounds.
“In the central defender, we know that Lampard really likes Rice at West Ham and would like to move from a midfielder to a more sensible central defender.
“West Ham will rate incredibly high rates,” they advised resources in the diversity of 65 to 70 million pounds, do not want to sell and are in a position of contract strength.
“I don’t think everyone in Chelsea is convinced through Declan Rice, yet it’s the one Lampard wants.
GRUB’S UP
Timo Werner would possibly have joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig.
But the German striker wasted no time exploring London and all his delights with his friend Julia Nagler.
The couple were seen dining in combination at the sumptuous place to eat Mayfair Novikov on Tuesday, a favorite spot for celebrities in west London.
And thanks to the government’s “Eat Out To Help Out” program, Werner and his spouse would have earned a 10 euro reduction in the overall bill.
DAN AND OUT
Chelsea side side Danilo Pantic has joined Serbian FK Cukaricki on a one-season loan contract.
The loan will be the fifth since its arrival in 2015.
Chelsea’s 23-year-old career has been that of many before him.
Having signed from FK Partizan five years ago, Pantic spent the next five seasons on loan at teams including Vitesse Arnhem, Excelsior, his old club Partizan and Fehervar last time out.
HE’S IN THE GAME.
FIFA 21 has announced a new massive review of Ultimate Team.
The game will be released via EA Sports on October 9 and enthusiasts are expected to see really extensive settings from past editions.
Fitness has been FOCUSED.
Ultimate Team enthusiasts have had to play alone, but EA has now brought a co-op mode online.
And players will no longer be rewarded for more games.
A new limit is brought in FIFA 21, which limits matches to rank 40.
Additional games will only allow you to gain more skill issues or champion issues.
HE’LL MAKE HIS MONEY.
Christian Pulisic believes the new helmsman Werner will have a massive effect on Stamford Bridge next season.
He told the Blues’ official website: “He’s a great player.
I think he has qualities for me and some of the strikers we have.
“It’s very fast and way ahead of the goal.
“He happens to be a humble guy. He needs to come in and work.
Ben Chillwell will be the subject of interest to Manchester City and Chelsea this season, he reports.
England’s left-back is worth 80 million pounds in the head through Leicester, which is discouraging suitors.
And David Ornstein believes the City will have to transfer to Benjamin Mendy or Oleksandr Zinchenko, who is injured, for the move to happen.
Ornstein told Tifo’s football podcast: “We know [Chelsea’s] interest in Leicester City’s Ben Chillwell, I don’t think everyone is convinced at Chelsea of the prices it will take to praise him from Leicester.
“The city is also interested, but still concerned about Champions League football, it will have to move on one or more left sides to lose ground and also finance.
“It will be interesting, and both clubs also have other options.”
Chelsea published N’Golo Kante and Michy Batshuayi competing in training.

COME ON, MY SON
Chelsea and Manchester City have joined Arsenal in the race for pointing out Portuguese prodigies Joelson Fernandes, he reports.
The 17-year-old Sporting Lisbon star has been dubbed the next Cristiano Ronaldo of his phenomenal wing magic.
The under-17 alien Joelson made his Primeira Liga debut with Sporting in June and has a 41 million pound clause in his contract.
Arsenal has just been rejected for a moment with an offer of 29 million pounds through Sporting officials after failing with an opening bid of 18 million pounds.
Gunners are expected to review the Lisbon club’s offer with an advanced offer later this week, with chief Mikel Arteta willing to hire the teen.
But reports in Portugal say Chelsea and City have contacted Joelson’s adviser, Kia Joorabchian, to discuss possible deals.
Mason Mount would probably have been too excited when Sky Sport Italia reporter Angelo Mangiante connected Declan Rice to Chelsea.
The Blues midfielder liked a social media article in the Sports Bible that claimed Frank Lampard had made an initial offer of 50 million pounds for the West Ham star.
However, the Hammers categorically denied that an offer had been made for rice.

Manchester United may be in a position for an ordinary and ambitious offer by Kai Havertz if his search for Jadon Sancho fails.
The Red Devils are willing to spend a lot on the tip of England, but they run into the value of Borussia Dortmund’s 108 million pounds.
And, according to the Manchester Evening News, it is possible that simply Havertz, as Chelsea is the favourite to sign.
The Blues, the offensive midfielder, scored 18 goals for Bayer Leverkusen last season.
But at the beginning of the summer, United was connected to the young German.
THE LATEST IN RICE
David Ornstein also said that Chelsea remained for Declan Rice, but that he will have to pay for it.
He told the Tifo Football podcast: “We know that Frank Lampard is a big fan of West Ham’s Declan Rice and would like to turn him as a midfielder into a more sensible central defender.
“I know footballers who think they can globalize elegance in this position.
“West Ham will rate incredibly high rates,” they advised resources on diversity of 65 to 70 million pounds and are in a position of contractual strength.
“I don’t think everyone in Chelsea is convinced through Declan Rice, yet it’s the one Lampard wants.”
HAVERTZ SITUATION
Chelsea will make an offer for Kai Havertz after the Europa League final, according to reports.
The tender will charge the Blues around 80 million euros, or 72 million pounds, and negotiations will intensify soon, with Havertz a break after the Europa League.
“Kai Havertz looked to wait a little to see if there were other options.
“They didn’t … and only between Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen
“We’ve noticed it with Jadon Sancho’s stage, it’s not easy
They are willing to pay what the Leverkusen and that’s about 80 million euros.”

RUDI’S SURPRISE
Liverpool is a surprise move for Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger, according to reports.
Frank Lampard is believed to be in a position to pay attention to the German’s delivery in 30 international matches after a series of disappointing performances this season.
He endured a difficult afternoon in the FA Cup final against Arsenal, then fell in the 4–1 loss to Bayern Munich.
But still, according to Mundo Deportivo, Jurgen Klopp is in a position to take a leap to land the 27-year-old.
The Reds are ahead of the hiring of another central defender this summer after ascending to Dejan Lovren.
BEST LUCKY CREATORS
This is how the top artistic players in the Premier League can create opportunities.
SANCHO KO
David Ornstein, how Chelsea replaced their minds by making a gesture for Jadon Sancho.
He says Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool were also looking for Sancho, but were eliminated by Covid.
The Tifo Football podcast: “Sancho grew up as a Chelsea fan.
“There was an argument with them, but the scenario has changed … after the Covid crisis.”
WAKE UP THE RUD
Liverpool can make a surprise move to point to Chelsea’s Antonio Rudiger, according to reports.
Mundo Deportivo’s rumour segment says Jurgen Klopp will update Dejan Lovren after his move to Zenit St. Petersburg.
The sale of Rudiger may also loosen the budget to allow Chelsea to point to corporations such as Ben Chilwell and Declan Rice, and David Ornstein reports that the Blues board is not yet convinced that the fees charged through Leicester and West Ham are of value, respectively.
CHELSEA FANS GOOD MORNING
Blues President Bruce Buck called Frank Lampard’s first season “very successful”: he did not win any trophies.
He said: “At the end of the day, we think it’s been a very successful season.
“Obviously we would have been a little happier if we had won the FA Cup.
“But I’m sure the coach and the players were very happy to lift the trophy.”
Next season, Lampard can win his first elusive trophy as a coach if he achieves all the moving goals reported through Chelsea this summer.
The club has increased interest in ajax defence Nicolas Tagliafico after chasing Ben Chilwell.
Sky Sports claims that the Blues have so far failed to reach an agreement with Leicester by English star Chilwell and that the two clubs disagree with a review.
Tagliafico from Argentina may be the time for the Ajax player to take the Dutch giants to Stamford Bridge this summer after Hakim Ziyech.
But West Ham has reportedly rejected reports that Chelsea has won a bid of 50 million pounds for Declan Rice.
Sky Sports claims that the Hammers have reiterated their position that the English star is on sale and that any offer of 50 million pounds would be ridiculed.
The 21-year-old played for Chelsea for seven years before being 14.

NO HOLIDAY BLUES
Frank Lampard enjoys some summer sunshine in France with his wife Christine and their children afterwards even though they all completed their first season at Chelsea.
The circle of relatives looked good as they bathed in the ocean off the French Riviera.
Lampard even threw himself from a trampoline into Christine’s eyes at sea in a white summer dress.

WARNING LIGHT
Timo Werner’s former partner supported him at Chelsea.
But speaking to Sport-Information-Dienst, former German RB Leipzig teammate Yussuf Poulsen warned that the 24-year-old would probably want time to adjust.
“I think Timo will be a Striker in the Premier League for years to come,” he said.
“Of course, you will first have to meet your teammates and the league; you can’t show all your qualities right away.
“But it will come in time.
NO NEED TO BOLLATE YOUR IDEAS
Chelsea President Bruce Buck has said Frank Lampard is the right user for the task, and his leadership means it’s an “exciting time for Chelsea.”
He added: “Frank Lampard is a great force for Chelsea.
“It’s Chelsea from start to finish and helps keep showing up.
“He has a lot of credibility.
“This is a time for Chelsea.”
INCREASING MORALE
Chelsea President Bruce Buck called Frank Lampard’s first season “very successful”: he has not won a trophy.
Les Bleus lost the FA Cup final to Arsenal before this month.
Buck said: “In the end we think it was a very successful season.
“I think obviously we would have been a little bit happier if we had won the FA Cup.
“But I’m sure the coach and the players were very happy to lift the trophy.”
