Pretty good going for three Champions League titles since the turn of the century. Bayern were pretty busy this summer and Newcastle were not, so they have leapfrogged them in this ranking.
11) Liverpool (England) Expenditure: €2.02bn Income: €1.23bn Net spend: €-798.39m
FSG out.
10) AC Milan (Italy) Expenditure: €1.76bn Income: €894.32m Net spend: €-865.16m
Milan have as many arrivals and departures (818).
9) Juventus (Italy) Expenditure: €2.67bn Income: €1.77bn Net spend: €-902.74m
Is Juventus the richest Old Lady in the world?
8) Tottenham (England) Expenditure: €2.04bn Income: €1.11bn Net spend: €-931.62m
Look at Spurs rolling with the big boys. Surely they have some trophies to show for it, right? Right?
7) Barcelona (Spain) Expenditure: €2.5bn Income: €1.5bn Net spend: €-998.36m
It’s surprising they are not in the top five given the fact they are crippled financially thanks to a number of stupidly expensive signings.
6) Arsenal (England) Expenditure: €1.92bn Income: €899.49m Net spend: €-1,016.13m
Arsenal placed 14th with a net spend of €-280.98m between 00/01 and 17/18 – the season Arsene Wenger left.
5) Real Madrid (Spain) Expenditure: €2.47bn Income: €1.42bn Net spend: €-1,045.15m
Real Madrid do not tend to get big fees for players as the natural end goal for them.
4) Paris Saint-Germain (France) Expenditure: €2.48bn Income: €937.04m Net spend: €-1,507.82m
That is a big ol’ jump from fifth.
3) Manchester United (England) Expenditure: €2.69bn Income: €939.01m Net spend: €-1,748.36m
2) Manchester City (England) Expenditure: €2.8bn Income: €1.19bn Net spend: €-1,606.63m
They bought their success and really do not care. Well, they might if they are found g-g-g-guilty.
1) Chelsea (England) Expenditure: €3.85bn Income: €1.9bn Net spend: €-1,948.67m
The Blues have always been a bit gung-ho in the transfer market, but they have taken things to a whole new level under Todd Boehly. How are you supposed to compete with that?! Quite easily by the looks of it.
