Chelsea have constructed the most expensive squad of players in the entire world, a new report has revealed.
The Blues, with a cost of €1.314 billion, are one of five teams to have broken the €1 billion (£870 million, $1.18 billion) mark, per , with the other four coming from the Premier League. Manchester City sit narrowly behind Chelsea, with Manchester United occupying third in the rankings with a squad cost of €1.071 billion.
Despite overseeing the most expensive transfer window in history this past year, Liverpool only boast the fourth-most expensive squad in the game at €1.065 billion, ahead of Arsenal’s €1.001 billion spend.
Dropping below the €1 billion threshold, yet another English side crops up first. Tottenham Hotspur have racked up a squad cost of €974 million, well clear of Paris Saint-Germain (€873 million) in seventh.
Real Madrid and Newcastle United are both marginally behind, but there is a drop of almost €250 million down to Atlético Madrid in 10th.
