Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck said on the club's official website: 'The club has now posted a series of record-breaking revenue figures and our profit margin has increased in consecutive years

This has occurred against a backdrop of varying participation in European football, and different degrees of achievement in the Premier League, which demonstrates we have built a sound business footing to support our on-pitch quest for success

Chelsea's financial results for the previous year - until June 30, 2017 - reported a turnover of £361.3m and profit of £15.3m

The latest figures include the sales of Diego Costa to Atletico Madrid, Nemanja Matic to Manchester United, Nathan Ake to Bournemouth and the permanent transfer of Juan Cuadrado to Juventus

Chelsea latest news: Chelsea name price for Callum Hudson-Odoi after rejecting £20million offer - Duration: 2:53.

Chelsea have reportedly told Bayern Munich to stump up £40million if they want to sign Callum Hudson-Odoi

The German giants are believed to have had a bid of £20m rejected after being impressed by the 18-year-old

The Stamford Bridge club appear ready to sell the teenager - but not on the cheap

Hudson-Odoi was promised first team opportunities this season but has found playing time limited under Maurizio Sarri

And he could follow fellow English starlets Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson to the Bundesliga

Last week, Sarri was forcerd to defend his decision to withdraw Hudson-Odoi late on at Watford on Boxing Day, insisting the young forward picked up a hamstring injury

Academy graduate Hudson-Odoi replaced Pedro in the 43rd minute only to be replaced himself, by Emerson Palmieri, as Chelsea cemented fourth spot with victory on the road

The Blues fans heavily booed Hudson-Odoi's withdrawal, prompting manager Sarri to placate the supporters with an explanatory injury update

He played for the first time in the Premier League this season, he played for 55 minutes, very well," said Sarri

We had a little injury with his hamstring one week ago, and 10 minutes from the end he had pain in the same point so we preferred to change

I can understand that (the fans' frustrations) but there wasn't another solution, it was too dangerous

Liverpool transfer news: Adrien Rabiot makes BIG decision after Barcelona, Tottenham talks - Duration: 2:58.

 Rabiot is one of the most sought-after stars in the world at the moment, as his contract at PSG runs down

 The 23-year-old is yet to come out and confirm that he wants to leave, but the actions of his agent have proved that he is willing to walk away from the Parc des Princes

 One place Rabiot won't be heading, however, is North London. According to reports, the midfielder has decided to reject any advances from Tottenham, because he doesn't feel they are good enough

 **PREDICT FIVE RESULTS AND WIN £25,000 - FREE TO PLAY HERE** ESPNFC reports that Rabiot has no intention to talk to any Spurs representatives, and will turn his attentions elsewhere

 Spurs are currently third in the league, just nine points below Liverpool, who are also reported to be interested in acquiring the Frenchman

 They face stiff competition, however, as just yesterday Barcelona confirmed they were keen on signing the midfielder

 Rabiot is out of contract at the end of the season, and after January 1 can begin negotiations with teams, and potentially sign a pre-contract agreement

 In a statement, Barcelona denied reports that they had already agreed to sign Rabiot, but made it clear that they were willing to open talks

 It had been reported in France that Barca had made an illegal approach for the star, who is unable to sign any agreements until January 1

 "FC Barcelona wish to address stories published in France regarding the signing of players from Paris Saint Germain, and make clear that they have not breached any rule in this regard," the statement read

 "The only contact made was during the month of August and one week ago. "In both cases, this contact was made with PSG's sporting management to show FC Barcelona's interest in the player Adrien Rabiot

 "FC Barcelona have always wanted to work with the utmost transparency in their dealings with PSG and with any other club

 "FC Barcelona refute the existence of any type of agreement with PSG player Adrien Rabiot
