According to BBC, Chelsea have broken a transfer record set by Spanish club Real Madrid in 2019.

Chelsea have spent an estimated £340m on nine players so far in this transfer window, more than any other side in Europe.

The highest summer spend by any club in the world before now had been Real Madrid’s £292m spree in 2019.

It means Chelsea have spent approaching £900m since Todd Boehly’s takeover of the club last summer.

The report also adds that Premier League clubs have spent a record £1.95bn on players in this summer’s transfer window – with a week still to go before deadline day.

The previous record of £1.92bn set last summer has already been overtaken.
