According to totalsportek.com, going into the 2017-18 season Chelsea’s wage bill stands at around £224m (second highest in the league only behind Manchester United). However by the end of next accounting cycle in May 2017, Chelsea might have reduced their wage bill with departure of Namanja Matic, John Terry and highly likely Diego Costa and some other fringe players who were all on big contracts. We break down the entire Chelsea squad contracts and salaries going into the 2017-18 season.
Just like the last few seasons, Chelsea have spent wisely and their net spend has been incredible thanks to selling off deadwood or some of the youngsters who were on Chelsea books for quite some time. In the summer of 2017 Chelsea has just brought in three players in Alvaro Morata, Tiemoué Bakayoko, Antonio Rüdiger and Willy Caballero while letting go whole list of players from title winning squad of 2016-17.
Alvaro Morata – £58.5m (from Real Madrid)
Tiemoué Bakayoko – £36m (From AS Monaco)
Antonio Rüdiger – £31.5 (From AS Roma)
Willy Caballero – free transfer (from Manchester City)
Antonio Conte himself signed financially improved deal with Chelsea which is set to keep him at the club till 2019, earning him around £8.5m a year.
