3) Chelsea – £256m
Trending
Ever since Roman Abramovich bought the club, he has pumped in more than a billion pounds to make Chelsea a competitive side. The club also has a revolving door for managers coming and going (read as fired) but it is a ‘philosophy’ that has worked with Chelsea winning trophies on a regular basis.
They won the league at a canter with Antonio Conte in charge thanks in part to a 13-match winning run after the Italian manager changed the formation. He didn’t get to make any big signings last summer but expect him to do so with support from the club this summer.
The Blues’ highest earner is Eden Hazard at £200K per week followed by Diego Costa at £185K per week. Cesc Fabregas and John Terry took home around £150K per week while David Luiz and Thibaut Courtois earned £120K per week. Luiz had even taken a pay cut to rejoin Chelsea following his stint at PSG.
