Revealed: The insane fees Chelsea paid to agents in recent transfer windows as Blues fear punishment over PSR breaches

In those windows - January of 2024 and the summer of 2023 - the Blues spent just under £400m ($498m) on new players. Manchester City paid £60m ($75m) to agents over the same period, but the third-highest spending club lags way behind; Manchester United paid agents £34m ($42m).

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Chelsea's incredible spending under Todd Boehly has seen them sign no fewer than 34 players, although it remains to be seen how many of them remain at Stamford Bridge this summer. One homegrown star Conor Gallagher is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/conor-gallagher-chelsea-exit-armando-broja-trevoh-chalobah-ian-maatsen/blt7d2c3ae021f813de" target="_blank">also expected to leave</a>.
