How Chelsea F.C. made around £1.3 billion by selling their players? List of sold players

Chelsea made 1.3 Billion Euros by selling their players. List of the sold players who are being sold by Chelseas since 2000.

Chelsea F.C. has been one of the clubs which stay busy in the transfer window every season because they have been the team who stayed in the top 4 since the year 2000, but in season 2022/2023, they saw a huge downfall in their performance even after spending over 600 million dollars in the span of 1 year.

The club has always been the talk of the transfer window because they never lose any chance to sign a potential superstar, and for that, they give away a lot of money which they mostly regret giving as the player who comes to Chelsea is not able to perform at the highest level and only a few players able to handle the pressure.

Chelsea is one of the clubs that started the high bidding war in 2011 when they brought in former Liverpool player Fernando Torres for around 60 million dollars that time, which was a recording-breaking deal, but it was a total failure move for them, and Torres failed to be consistent.

Many people don’t know that Chelsea club has been one of the most profitable clubs with their selling scheme as they made up more than 1.3 billion euros from selling the players since they started as a club. Blues recently splashed some 600+ million dollars money in the transfer window, and still in the upcoming window, they are looking to splash some more, but many players of Chelsea will be leaving the club as there is no space to sit in the locker room.

The most expensive sale from the Chelsea club is the recently retired Eden Hazard, who was sold to Real Madrid for about 141.5 million euros. He failed to live up to his skill when playing in a Madrid jersey.

There is a list of players who were sold from the years 2000-2023.
