With a new era under the stewardship of Xabi Alonso on the horizon, we've taken a look at Chelsea's wage expenditure.
Much has changed at Stamford Bridge in the four years since Roman Abramovich's near two-decade spell as Chelsea chairman came to an end.
Since their acquisition by Todd Boehly-fronted BlueCo in 2022, the Blues have become renowned for their policy of investing in youth and offering exceptionally long contract to players.
Compared to their contemporaries in the traditional 'Big Six' Chelsea actually reportedly spend relatively little on weekly wages for their top stars.
Reece James is said to be the club's current joint-highest earner, with the academy graduate reportedly on £200,000-per-week - the same as Wesley Fofana.
Salaries included are taken from the 2024/25 season and courtesy of Capology. Salary figures provided by Capology are estimates and do not represent official figures. All salary figures are referred to in gross weekly pay.
