In the latest transition markets, it is seen that the recovery compared to the coronavirus phase is complete. At least the new dominators of world football, at least on an economic level, that is, the clubs owned by billionaires or even Middle Eastern countries. While those who remain faithful to their partners have a harder time getting their heads around the transition, the waste experienced especially in Premier League It is especially different.
But spending millions on marketing does not equate to success. And if you don’t ask the Chelsea. Since the arrival of Todd Boehly as an alternative to Roman Abramovich, spending on transfers increased further, but that didn’t even lead the ‘blues’ back to winning ways. Rather the complete opposite. It’s still painful at Stamford Bridge, which doesn’t quite understand what’s really going on, the transformation the entity has undergone in recent years. It is difficult to explain that, after spending 464 million euros in the 2023/2024 season and another 630 ‘kilo’ in 2022/2023, the Chelsea have only managed to get through to the Europa League this coming season, having even been left out of contention in the European competition in the previous one.
Beyond the question that so many bench changes aren’t the smartest, it seems like millions were wasted on players who weren’t even close to being elite. Clear reflection is Moisés Caicedo (116 million), Enzo Fernandez (121), Wesley Fofana (80.4) or Mykhailo Mudryk (70), among many others, as the list is long, who did not make a difference and instead failed to wear the Londoners’ jersey. Arguably the only surprise among the additions is that of Cole Palmer (47) last season, leaving big numbers and performances that were crucial this past season to achieve qualification for Europe.
It looks like that Todd Boehly has drawn conclusions after two years of complete failure and is taking a different approach this summer. At least when it comes to extras and gossip. The footballers who made it this season to Chelsea is Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (35.4/Leicester), Omari Kellyman (22.5/Aston Villa), Renato Veiga (14/Basel), Caleb Willey (10,1), Marc Guiu (6/Barça) and Tosin Adarabioyo (0/Fulham). No big costs and no big names. With the arrival of Enzo Maresca in exchange PochettinoI guess it’s trendy now to bring accessories for a squad that looks good, but needs to be strengthened. Sure some millionaire signings fall through, but it seems this time the ‘blue’ owner is choosing to put more thought into his operations and not sign on impulse. One step forward.
