No European club has spent more than Chelsea in the transfer market over the last two seasons, and they have been the biggest buyers in the market in almost every transfer window, with more than €100 million in transfers coming in almost every transfer period, although that could change in this year's summer window. The main reasons are twofold, one is that Chelsea's basic squad is relatively well-developed, but the results are not good, they can sign a limited number of players in the transfer market, and on the other hand, the Premier League's financial fair play policy is limited.
This season's Premier League is very strict on the team's spending restrictions, although it has not yet affected the giants, but including Everton, Nottingham Forest and other teams have been investigated and deducted points from the FA, this situation has also sounded the alarm for other teams, resulting in the giants do not dare to make drastic recruitments. Last season, for example, Arsenal and Chelsea alone had two players with transfer fees of more than £100 million, namely Rice and Caicedo, and such a situation is likely not to occur this year.
Therefore, although Chelsea has a plan to bring in reinforcements and is willing to spend on transfer fees, their financial problems are also relatively large, and they have also been investigated by the FA, which is why they will not spend huge sums of money in the summer window to bring in reinforcements, and in the absence of high transfer fees, Chelsea's recruitment naturally becomes relatively difficult. Their performances in the last two seasons, as well as the frequent changes of managers, have left many players in doubt, and there is a big question mark over whether to join.
It is reported that Chelsea have abandoned the more talked-about centre-forwards Isak and Osimhen in the transfer market due to the transfer fee problem. Prior to this, Chelsea was still very confident in the reinforcement of the center forward, and they were not satisfied with Jackson's performance, hoping to find a qualified replacement, but whether it is Osimhen or Isak, the transfer fee will be more than 100 million euros, which is a good choice for Chelsea now, but it is not the most cost-effective option, the price is too high.
Chelsea's pivotal position has gone through several seasons of adjustments, and neither Lukaku, nor the €30 million Jackson, have been able to solve Chelsea's attacking problems, and they are naturally hoping to find a better player in the transfer market to solve the problem. However, simply changing players may not be an effective improvement for Chelsea, but it is the tactical support and the development of the players that should be their primary concern. At the very least, it may be a good thing that Chelsea's young players have more opportunities to improve.
