Wrexham has sprayed Chelsea into the global Summer Network Table.
You read that well – the new boys from the championship have caught up with a club that has spent almost £ 2 billion since Todd Boehly and Blueco took the reins in May 2022.
Chelsea's £ 26 million sale of Renato Veiga to Villarreal On Friday afternoon that the blues have a net spending of £ -20.1 million this window, according to transfer market.
And as Wrexham the young defender Callum Doyle from Manchester City has signed for £ 7.5 million, their net spending is around £ -23.7 million.
It is clear that Chelsea has spent considerably more than the Welsh Club – in fact Chelsea's total £ 242 million is only second in Liverpool throughout Europe – but they have made so many sales that their net spending expenditure is lower.
But can you guess who has the highest net spending all over the world?
The answer to that question is Manchester United.
The side of Ruben Amorim has an amazing £ 199 million exhausted on Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon without selling anyone.
Arsenal trail them closely at £ -187 million, with a decent gap for Real Madrid in the third (£ -143m), Liverpool Fourth (£ -104m) and Manchester City Fifth (£ -102m).
Chelsea is completely back in the 31st, with Wrexham that becomes 28th; 12th highest in the United Kingdom.
The side of Enzo Maresca is still looking for new signing sessions and is expected to target further sales to balance them.
Veiga is the last after he was considered excess against the requirements, after he was only affiliated with Basel for £ 12 million last summer.
He was part of the 'Bomb Squad' who found most of his action in the Europa Conference League in contrast to the Premier League.
Other remarkable net spenders this summer, who are sixth in the world with £ -101 million, while Newcastle, Tottenham, Leeds Burnley, Everton and Nottingham Forest all reach the top 25.
The four Saudi Aarabic clubs that have been such remarkable editions in recent windows have not raised their heads this time.
But we have seen considerable net spending from other Saudi sides, with few well-known al-Qadsiah and Neom SC that are seventh and 14th respectively. Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr have come to the 18th and 19th so far.
There is of course time to change this, and we can expect radical at the end of the window.
Liverpool could spend more than £ 110 million on Alexander Isak and perhaps up to £ 45 million to Marc Guehi, figures that United would blow out of the water if the side of Arne Slot would do no further sale.
United, meanwhile, would ideally want to shift players such as Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Jadon Sancho in movements that would somewhat balance their net.
