Statistics from Transfermarkt show that Chelsea is the club that spends the most in the 21st century with a total of 3.24 billion pounds. In addition, there are 5 other Premier League teams in the Top 10.

Perhaps it’s no surprise that Chelsea took the top spot after the Blues have spent more than £1 billion since owner Todd Boehly took over last year.

However, one positive point is that Chelsea has made more money from selling players than any other club, with 1.7 billion pounds brought in. Thus, Chelsea’s net spending up to this point of the 21st century reached 1.54 billion pounds.

Ranked second after Chelsea is Man City when the blue half of Manchester has invested 2.35 billion pounds in the transfer market since 2000. On the other hand, Man City has earned 855 million pounds in player sales, Meanwhile, their net spending reached 1.45 billion pounds – 90 million pounds less than Chelsea.

Man City’s “neighbor”, MU, ranked 3rd with net spending of 1.36 billion pounds, while PSG ranked 4th with 1.11 billion pounds. The rich French club is also the last team to record net spending exceeding 1 billion pounds so far in the 21st century.

Real Madrid ranked 5th with a net spend of £855 million. Looking at what Los Blancos has invested, we can see that they are the most successful team. Real Madrid’s spending is not too terrible, but it has received a bumper crop of titles, including 6 Champions League titles, 8 La Liga titles, and a series of other large and small cups.

Arsenal (852 million pounds), Barca (813), Tottenham (692), AC Milan (678) and Liverpool (674) are the remaining teams in the Top 10. In the summer of 2023 alone, the Gunners spent more than 200 million on board. In total, they have invested about 574 million pounds since coach Mikel Arteta took power in December 2019.

Notably, Arsenal is the club that earns the least amount of money from player sales in the Top 10, with an income of about 695 million pounds since 2000.
