Costliest squad ever assembled awaits relegation-strugglers

Their results on the football pitch may be mediocre, but they are champions of finances, as Chelsea’s squad has been pronounced the costliest ever, according to the latest UEFA report, being worth €1.66 billion! Expanding the story to the entire Premier League, English sides hold the first four spots, as the Manchester giants, City and United, as well as Arsenal, follow the Blues, while Liverpool (#8) and Tottenham (#9) are also in the TOP 10.Chelsea’s squad at the end of the 2024 financial year was the costliest ever assembled, according to a new UEFA report #KagwirawoUpdates pic.twitter.com/Yiu8Ug5Fz4— Kagwirawo (@Kagwirawo) March 7, 2025 Regarding the worth mentioned above, Leicester’s chances at Stamford Bridge would be minimal today (17.00), as their roster’s estimated value is six times lower than Chelsea’s. Still, the legendary Johan Cruyff said, “I’ve never seen a bag of money score a goal,” so the Foxes undoubtedly stand a chance.Yet, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men will have a difficult task snatching at least a point from the Blues. After all, the capital crew is fighting for the Champions League, while Leicester are six points behind Wolverhampton, which hold the last spot in the “safe zone.”Behold, the new champion on a roll!Moreover, they are on a streak of four defeats in which they have not even scored! The Foxes’ last goal came on January 26 against Tottenham, when Bilal El Khannouss netted the 50th-minute winner. Since then, they have been goalless for 400 minutes!Yes, money bags don’t score, but neither do Leicester players lately. And without goals, you cannot hope for anything good.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 28SaturdayNott. Forest – Man.
