Not long ago, Chelsea officially announced the signing of Felix. Felix's arrival also gives hope to Chelsea fans, as he is the one the team has been looking for and does have good attacking qualities. However, Felix's arrival has not been able to stop the joy that Chelsea have brought to everyone in recent years. Because Chelsea have never inked money in recent years, but their generosity has not brought the team the ideal results, and even mixed into a relegation team for a time, which is a bit uneasy. Now some media have analysed the details of Chelsea's signings, and the results are even more surprising.
On August 22, 2024, according to foreign media "Sky Sports" reporter Kaveh Solhekol, Chelsea are now taking the long-term contract route, and they like to sign long-term contracts with players, such as the new signing Felix has a seven-year contract. It is understood that according to the standard of long-term contracts in the Premier League, the salary of players will generally be lower than ordinary contracts, and the average contract length of Chelsea players is now 4.5 years, and their wages are around £60,000 per week, which is lower than the previous £72,000 per week.
Previously, Palmer also signed a new contract with the team until 2033. It is worth mentioning that Chelsea now has 42 first-class players, who are worth a total of 1.11 billion euros, and all have a combined contract of 191 years. In the summer transfer window, Chelsea spent more than £200 million to bring in 10 players. At the moment, the most expensive player in the Chelsea squad is Palmer, who is valued at €80 million. However, no player in the Blues is worth €100 million.
Although the new Premier League season has begun, Chelsea have not forgotten to clean up. According to the latest news from the foreign media mail, Chelsea will also purge 13 players, who have now been banned from training with first-class players. According to reports, while Chelsea are training on a daily basis, Raheem Sterling, Romelu Lukaku, Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Wesley Fofana, Davide, Angelo, Berlistrom, Anjorin, Matos, Armando Broja and Vale are not allowed to train with the first team, and they will also be purged, including Armando Broja who will join Ipswich on loan.
In the summer window, Chelsea also transferred five players, they are Maatson, Gallagher, Lewis Hall, Hutchinson, Golding. These five men have brought in €148.9 million in transfer income for the Blues. It can be seen that Chelsea are not spending money stupidly this year, and the team is also looking for ways to earn transfer fees. However, Chelsea's financial situation in recent years has been one of spending more than they earn, and their high investment has not yielded the desired return, at least their results in the Premier League have not been equal. Do you think things will get better for Chelsea this year? Can you qualify for the Champions League? Welcome to comment and leave a message and communicate together.
