Chelsea would struggle to fit Graham Potter's payout in their wage budget should they choose to remove him.

With Chelsea having Financial Fair Play (FFP) concerns, the Daily Mail says Potter's dismissal would create a major problem.

Potter left Brighton this season for Chelsea for a compensation fee of £20m. And with a contract to 2027, the Englishman is earning £12m-a-year.

As such, sacking Potter cannot be considered in the short-term.

The payout would create major FFP problems for the club.
