YOGYAKARTA - Only a handful of clubs in the world of football can claim to have spent as much money as Chelsea over the last 20 years. Let's buy Chelsea the most expensive!
After the previous owner, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich bought the club in 2003, they became the main energy in European football, due to billions already invested in the squad.
The hefty spending continues under Abramovich's successor, Todd Boehly, who spent nearly 250 million in the summer of 2022 and then 3220 million in January 2023.
Here is their biggest deal, based on their value in pounds by the time they finish.
So who is their most expensive transfer?
Enzo Fernandez - tinda 107 juta (Dari Benfica, 2023)
Enzo Fernandez broke Jack Grealish's record for the most expensive British transfer of all time after moving to Chelsea in January 2023.
Chelsea agreed to pay Enzo's release clause on his contract at Benfica, just six months after he joined the Portuguese club.
Enzo enjoyed a skyrocketing revival in 2022, and his brilliant midfield performance helped Argentina win their first World Cup in 36 years. This convinced Chelsea to pay the club record fee for him.
Romelu Lukaku - handicraft 97.7 million (from Inter, 2021)
While it may seem strange on paper for Chelsea to spend so much money on the players they once had as a young prospect, the signing of Romelu Lukaku in the summer of 2021 is undoubtedly a transfer of statements from the club.
After dominating Italian football with Inter with 64 goals in 95 games over two seasons and helping the club win their first Serie A title in 10 years, Lukaku returns to English football as one of the best strikers in the world of football and with a new spirit. point to prove.
It took him just 15 minutes in his second debut to score, away against Arsenal.
Lukaku's performances dropped drastically over the season and he only scored eight Premier League goals before returning to Inter on loan after just one season.
Mykhailo Mudryk - pihak 89.1 juta (Dari Shakhtar, 2022)
Mykhailo Mudryk became the second player in Chelsea's history to transfer another 100 million or more during the January 2023 transfer window.
Mudryk is the latest major money signing in the extraordinary 2022-23 season of expenses.
The Ukrainian emerged as one of the most exciting wingers in Europe in 2022 but is expected to join Arsenal.
But Chelsea hijacked Arsenal's deal to secure Mudryk in a deal until 2030.
Kai Havertz - divided 72 million (from Leverkusen, 2020)
While it wasn't considered a gamble when Chelsea made Kai Havertz their most expensive signing at the time, the pay was considered too high for a 21-year-old.
Like Werner, Havertz takes time to find a foothold at Stamford Bridge.
He grew up to be something at the end of his first season and it really doesn't matter how he does it at the rest of his career with the Blues because he has written himself into the history book.
In the Champions League final against Manchester City in 2021, he scored his only goal in the game to bring the trophy back to London, so Chelsea will see this deal as money well spent.
Kepa Arrizabalaga - IDX 71 million (from Athletic Bilbao, 2018)
Because of their policy of only deploying players from the Basque region, it is very expensive to get players out of Athletic Bilbao, as Chelsea knows with Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The world record fee for goalkeepers was agreed as the club needed a replacement for Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois, but that didn't go as planned.
Under Sarri, Kepa is the best; he's not bad, he looks promising, but obviously not world-class. However, in 2019/20, it was another story.
He has the lowest percentage of goalkeeper saves in the league, conceding 47 Premier League goals while making just 1.7 saves per 90, at least any goalkeeper with more than one league appearance.
He then lost his place in the team and became an expensive reserve in 2020/21 and 2021/22.
