With Chelsea's extravagant spending continuing, we take a look at the salaries paid to Blues players.
Chelsea, who secured UEFA Champions League football via a fourth-place finish last season, were somewhat surprisingly the fourth-highest spenders in the Premier League in terms of salary, ranking behind Manchester City and Manchester United and marginally behind Arsenal.
Despite spending hundreds of millions in the transfer market in the Todd Boehly era, Chelsea have been able to keep their wage structure relatively modest, perhaps due to the lengthy contracts they typically offer to new signings. Indeed, Chelsea's £170,315,600 spent on wages last season was less than they were spending in the 2018/19 season when they had the likes of Gonzalo Higuain, Eden Hazard and N'Golo Kante on the books.
The Blues' wage bill now stands at an eye-watering £183,040,000 per year.
Salaries included are taken from the 2025/26 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.
