History

Historical Context

In July 2003 Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea for £140 million, cleared its debts and launched a £100 million pre-season spending spree that reshaped Premier League transfer norms. That model produced record-breaking deals such as the £289 million 2023 winter window and now the 2024-25 window, where Chelsea spend £117 million on Morgan Rogers, pressuring rivals like Manchester United.
