Dear football,
Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in my life.
Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career.
When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. I’m grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made along the way.
To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs I’ve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to me…
Chelsea fans saw Eghbali after the Spurs match and made sure to let him know what they think.
This is how it should be, protests shouldn't be cancelled, keep up the heat on this ownership.
In simple terms, the 4-year settlement agreement with UEFA sees Chelsea:
🔹 Limited to a maximum €60million Football Earnings deficit in the 2025-26 season
🔹 Limited to ZERO losses in 2026-27, which can be extended by any headroom the club has in its 2025-26 Football Earnings calculation, up to a maximum of €60m
🔹 Limited to a maximum of €60m in Football Earnings losses (increasable to €90m if various ‘good’ financial conditions are showcased, though English clubs generally fail to do so) in the 3 seasons spanning 2025-26 to 2027-28.
🔹 If Chelsea exceed any of those individual targets by less than €20m, they’ll receive a FINE proportional to the excess [up to €20m].
🔹 If Chelsea exceed any of those by more than €20m, UEFA will deem them in breach of the settlement agreement, terminate it and BAN them from ALL of its competitions for a season.
