Roman Abramovich still has plenty of money left to spend, so Chelsea is certainly wealthy. Players like Enzo, Caicedo, and Mudryk, acquired for over 100 million euros each last year, signed long contracts, allowing the transfer fees to be spread out over time. This transfer window, many deals have been put on hold due to the European Championship, and things will likely pick up after its conclusion.
Currently, Chelsea has already spent money, notably 61 million euros to sign 17-year-old Brazilian prodigy Estevão. This signing is undoubtedly a high-risk, high-reward move. Being only 17, he could develop into a stellar player, or he could fail to live up to expectations, similar to Barcelona's purchase of Brazilian youngster Roque, which turned out disappointing.
Chelsea has the money and the willingness to spend. As a top-tier club, they have considerable experience in navigating around Financial Fair Play regulations. Look at Manchester City, who have spent even more money without repercussions from the Football Association so far. If they want to punish Chelsea, they'll need to address Manchester City first.
I believe Chelsea will likely continue spending, but perhaps more prudently than last year, avoiding extravagant hundred-million-euro contracts. With a new coach, they need to stabilize the team after showing promise at the end of last season. For a strong team, falling from grace makes it incredibly difficult to rise again. Let's hope Chelsea achieves success in the upcoming season! |
