It is going to be fascinating to see how that transfer market plays out.

You're going to have clubs desperate to sell and offload high salaries, and other clubs that are cash rich (like Bayern, City, etc) that will be wiping their dicks on curtains. But all still constrained by FFP.

Could a player play in two different “spring” seasons?

will be key here. Barca doesn't want to take a loss on Coutinho, therefore will reduce his price to 80m. Clubs are going to have to take losses, Barca can't sell him at 80m.

You have Sanchez coming back from Inter to ManU still going to have United pay his 500K a week salary. There will be losses.

Has a stock pile of cash.

Will be interesting to see what they do. Amazingly, they are in a good position with this.

The stockpile is a little less though, because all accounts are that Hazard didn't hit all the targets to up the sale price, but there was a good article in The Athletic about where Chelsea is at.

If the rumors are true, and UEFA relaxes FFP because of this, then I'd fully expect Roman to plow tons of cash into the club and buy everything in sight. While he's lost 13% during this crisis, he still has over $10B in the bank, and can afford to plough money into the club still, which is different than many clubs other than PSG, Man U and Man City.
