Chelsea have no intention of stopping, Chelsea threaten to break all records when it comes to the football transfer market. Both those related to the number of players brought in during one season (when we talk about top clubs) and those related to the amount of money spent. Actually, as far as this second item is concerned, the Blues became the absolute leaders with Mudryk’s appointment. With the new multi-million dollar job, they only strengthened themselves at the top of the list when we talk about two related transfer periods (summer + winter), that is, about transfers realized during one whole season.And that new deal was concluded with PSV Eindhoven, which means that it is a matter of days (or maybe even hours) when Noni Madueke (20) will officially become a member of the club from Stamford Bridge.##EDITORS_CHOICE##This information was released tonight by Dutch journalist Rik Elfrink, a man who has been following PSV for years and is very well-versed in all club events. Many relevant media reported the news, and not long after, The Athletic also announced, practically with a confirmation: Yes, Chelsea agreed to buy Noni Madueke and it will cost him around 35,000,000 euros. With the bonuses, the Dutch could collect an additional 5,000,000.The Blues have been negotiating with PSV for weeks, the arrival of Mudryk seemed to signal the departure of Madueke, but it turned out to be just the calm before the storm. Since Monday, the negotiations have intensified, Todd Boehly has given free rein to his associates to increase the offer and the final agreement was reached today.Noni Madueke will be Chelsea’s 14th signing since the summer, and the sum spent in that period now jumps to 460,490,000 euros?!🚨 BREAKING : Chelsea buys Madueke, €40m. (@RikElfrink) #CFC https://t.co/iO67xJz7kF— Pys (@CFCPys) January 19, 2023 No one has ever spent so much money in one season. For the sake of comparison, the first behind the two-time European champion is Barcelona’s transfer market activity in the 2017/18 season, when 380,100,000 euros were listed. Real Madrid invested 355,550,000 in 2019/20, and Manchester City in the same season as Barca 317,500,000 euros.It will be interesting to see how Chelsea fit in all the wingers at their disposal – there are Felix, Sterling, Mudryk, Pulisic, Ziyech… And Christopher Nkunku is more of a winger than a striker (coming to Stamford Bridge in the summer).Above you can see the list of the biggest spenders in world football since the summer of 2020, or since the corona crisis started. Chelsea’s figure should be increased by 35,000,000 (Madueke’s transfer), which means that the Blues are currently at 825,690,000 euros. The first followers, two Manchesters, spent almost half of that amount.Chelsea’s negative balance based on market data alone (the difference between selling and buying players) amounts to over half a billion euros. It’s the last column in this table…##NAJAVA_MECA_6955285##
