Chelsea transfers 2022/23
Sterling - £47.5m
Koulibaly - £34m
Slonina - £12m
Chukwuemeka - £20m*
Cucurella - £62m*
Casadei - £16m*
Fofana - £70m
Aubameyang - £12m*
Overall spend - £273.5m
(Includes add-ons but not player swaps) #CFC#DeadlineDay
This also doesn’t include Omari Hutchinson, Zak Sturge, Eddie Beach, Shumaira Mheuka and Tyler Dibling (thought to have moved for £1.5m) who all had fees or compensation packages agreed.
It isn't an exact science but it's thought that Real Madrid had the world record in 2019, with Man City holding the British record and Chelsea in third.
- 1. Real Madrid (2019) – £272m
- 2. Manchester City (2017) – £223.8m
- 3. Chelsea – £221.4m (2020)
I've been asked to list player sales:
Timo Werner - £25m*
Emerson Palimieri - £15m*
Romelu Lukaku - £7m (loan fee)
Malang Sarr - £900k (loan fee)
Total - £47.9m
Not the typical summer for Chelsea with well over £100m raised from sales last summer.

Tuchel on Aubameyang: "Hopefully he can be that good again. You know what you get with Auba and he was very happy to come back to the Premier League. We knew it could happen. He can deliver goals." #CFC
Tuchel on Aubameyang's jaw injury: "At the moment, he cannot train. We need to get him a mask for his jaw so he can begin training next week." #CFC
Tuchel on Auba: "There was never a big issue. He has a big problem with his time but he never misses a meeting, sometimes getting him 60 mins before training is an issue. It is sometimes 58 mins or 56."
"I am sure he will fit into our dressing room, he was always positive." #CFC
Chelsea have announced Wesley Fofana as a new Chelsea player after his £70million plus add-ons transfer from Leicester City. His seven year contract is now confirmed. #CFC
Fofana: "I’m here win trophies – the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, everything. I came here to win and the club is built to win trophies so I’m here to continue that."
He also confirms that he trained with Chelsea this morning. #CFC
Fofana quite fun in his unveiling video: "I'm a very big fan of Drogba, I used to watch every game.
I like Kante, I like the personality and how he is a nice guy.
"I hope to be like the legends of Desailly and Makelele."
Chelsea XI to face Southampton - Mendy; Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Koulibaly, Cucurella; Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho; Mount, Ziyech; Havertz, Sterling. #CFC#CHESOU
Conte: "The referee showed me the red card but he didn't understand the dynamic of what happened. It's okay, I have to accept it. It's not a big problem." #CFC#CHETOT
Conte on his red card: "Honestly, I don't want to go back to it but there's TV and video to understand what happened. For sure, I am not passive. If I see aggression, I answer with aggression. I repeat; it is not a problem. It was a great game with two rivals." #CFC#CHETOT
Conte on the referee: "I never, never speak about referee decisions. Never. When I see others showing this kind of behaviour, it makes me angry. Everyone just does what they wants but I never make comments about referees in England." #CFC#CHETOT
Tuchel on Conte: "I just compared it to two players who have a bit of a fight on the field and nothing happens and no one got injured. It's PL football and both managers were fighting for our teams. That's it, nothing bad. Today it was part of the game." #CFC#CHETOT
Tuchel seems more angry at the referee Anthony Taylor than Spurs manager Antonio Conte.
"I can't understand. The whole dressing room can't understand it." #CFC#CHETOT
Tuchel: "It was a brilliant match. What a step up from the first day at Everton. I am frustrated the players don't get the rewards they deserve. It's down to these incredible decisions." #CFC#CHETOT
Chelsea XI to face Tottenham: Mendy; James, Thiago Silva, Koulibaly; Loftus-Cheek, Kante, Jorginho, Cucurella; Mount, Havertz, Sterling #CFC#TOTCHE standard.co.uk/sport/football…
