Chelsea loses 0-1 to Aston Villa at Stanford Bridge Even after spending hundreds of millions of dollars on new player acquisitions, a cold mass exodus, and a new manager, Chelsea remains the same uninteresting club.
Chelsea spent a record £323 million on transfers
Chelsea fans were expected to move on from the difficult 2022–23 season, in which the Blues finished 12th in the Premier League, but six weeks into the new season, it hasn’t looked like things are getting any better for Mauricio Pochettino’s team.
According to Jerrymusa.com the Blues have been active off the pitch, notably in the transfer market, since the year began in 2023, which accounts for why, according to the CIES (International Centre for Sports Studies) Football Observatory, they have spent the most money on football so far in 2023.
The Blues have already spent €575 million (£499 million) on deals this year. Chelsea spent a record £323 million on transfers in the January transfer window and an additional £176 million in the summer following the takeover by the Todd Boehly-led consortium supported by Clearlake Capital last year.
Which has not yielded a tangible result, Chelsea received a red card in the 58 minutes of the game, Gusto Mako was sent off. Aston Villa scored in the 73 minute, securing a win for the visitors.
