#3 Barcelona: €1.26bn
Another club famous for promoting talent from within the academy, Barca have caved under the pressures of modern football in recent years, making some huge moves in the transfer window. Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele alone have cost the club €300m.
#2 Chelsea: €1.31bn
Chelsea have made a name for themselves in the transfer market since owner Roman Abramovich bought the club, spending big year after year. As a result they have gained themselves somewhat of a pantomime villain reputation in England, despised by purist fans and often referred to as the "plastic" club.
