How much Chelsea have spent on transfers in football history
Chelsea have officially been named the biggest spenders in football history, sitting comfortably ahead of the rest with a staggering £3.6 billion invested in the transfer market.
Since Roman Abramovich’s takeover in 2003 and now under the leadership of Todd Boehly and BlueCo, the club’s ambition has never wavered. TransferMarkt’s newly released figures place Chelsea well above Manchester City (£2.79B), Juventus (£2.75B), Manchester United (£2.61B), and Real Madrid (£2.51B).
