Chelsea is undoubtedly the team that invested the most in the transfer market in the summer, however their accounts have not suffered at all. Not even the impact of the coronavirus has prevented the London team from presenting accounts with 36 ‘kilos’ of profit.
The ‘secret’ seems to be that the previous season there were important sales such as Eden Hazard's to Real Madrid and others such as Álvaro Morata's.
Turnover in the 2019-2020 season was reduced by the pandemic, going from 495 million euros to 451.
Like many, many companies around the world, the pandemic has had a significant impact on Chelsea's revenue, but it is a sign of the strength and stability of our financial operation that the company was still able to post a profit in the last financial year, ”said President Bruce Buck.
Chelsea's excellent record allowed the English team to conscientiously strengthen itself last summer, spending more than 220 million euros on the signings of Havertz, Werner, Ziyech, Chilwell and Mendy.
