Chelsea to Sign Main Kit Sponsor Deal With Riyadh Air/Qatar Airways?
Chelsea could sign a new front-of-shirt sponsor for next season worth up to £60m per season (for both the men's and women's teams) if they qualify for the 2025-26 Champions League, according to Łukasz Bączek - @Lu_Class_.
It is important to note that Chelsea have not yet signed a shirt sponsor for the remainder of the 24-25 season, nor have they signed a new shirt sponsor for the 25-26 season. Follow @Lu_Class_ on X and Footy Headlines here to get the latest information as the Chelsea sponsor story evolves.
Chelsea to Sign a New Front-of-Shirt Sponsor For Remainder of 24-25 Season and New 25-26 Season?
According to @Lu_Class_, Chelsea is currently in talks with some potential companies to become the club's front-of-shirt sponsor for the remainder of the season. Chelsea expect a fee of £20-25 million for the remainder of the season.
The potential companies mentioned include Qatar Airways, Riyadh Air, and Turkish Airlines. The remaining interested companies are from the United States.
Chelsea would also be optimistic to sign a front-of-shirt sponsorship deal worth £60 million a year for the 25-26 season if the team qualifies for the Champions League. It is believed that Chelsea's recent form has put them in a much better negotiating position than they were at the start of the season.
If Chelsea would manage to sign a £60m per season deal, the team would receive exactly as much as Manchester United.
