Despite the substantial losses, Chelsea announced a revenue of £490.9 million, marking their second-highest on record. The reported pre-tax loss surpasses the previous Premier League record of £197.5 million, posted by Manchester City for the 2010-11 season. However, club sources indicate that their transfer sales figures last summer were the highest in Premier League history. Insiders also noted that Chelsea’s spending on agents was at or below the Premier League average. Separately, Chelsea also announced on Wednesday that their women’s team (Chelsea Football Club Women Ltd) recorded a loss of £17.1 million, despite generating £21.3 million in revenue.
