The Premier League confirmed no charges for PSR breaches during the 2023-24 season after all clubs submitted accounts by the December 31 deadline. However, Leicester City is still under scrutiny due to unresolved arbitration over alleged breaches from the 2022-23 season. Leicester previously won a legal challenge asserting the Premier League lacked jurisdiction after their 2023 relegation. Meanwhile, clubs like Chelsea avoided PSR risks through strategic transfers and financial maneuvers before the fiscal year-end.
