Manchester United\u00a0top the global spending table across the past decade, spending \u00a31.19bn more than they have recoupled through player sales.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since 2014, the Red Devils have spent \u00a31.67bn on new players, while receiving \u00a3481m on sales, according to the CIES Football Observatory.<\/p>\n
Notable transfers in that time include Paul Pogba for \u00a389.5m in 2016, Harry Maguire for \u00a380m in 2019 and Romelu Lukaku for \u00a375m in 2017.<\/p>\n
All three of those players, as well as other big-money signings such as Antony and Jadon Sancho, have struggled at Old Trafford with the Red Devils having no Premier League or Champions League success to show for the past decade.<\/p>\n
Chelsea, who have won two league titles and a Champions League in that time, are second with a negative net spend of \u00a3883m – \u00a3307m down on the Red Devils.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Blues, who have spent more than \u00a31bn alone since\u00a0Todd Boehly’s takeover last year, have paid out the most money on players over the past decade at about \u00a32.25bn – while recouping \u00a31.37bn.<\/p>\n
Mauricio Pochettino’s side also have have a negative balance of about \u00a3476m for 2023 alone, \u00a3166m ahead of the nearest club in that regard, which is Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, who have signed the likes of Neymar, Ruben Neves, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Kalidou Koulibaly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over the past decade, Paris Saint-Germain are third with \u00a3866m, while Arsenal (\u00a3745m) and Manchester City (\u00a3732m) round out the top five.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Newcastle, despite only being bought out by a Saudi-led consortium in October 2021, are sixth on the list at \u00a3575m ahead of Barcelona \u00a3568m – who have suffered financially over recent years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The top ten is rounded off by Tottenham (\u00a3521m), AC Milan \u00a3467m and, surprisingly, West Ham, with the Europa Conference League winners having a negative net spend of \u00a3452m.<\/p>\n
Aston Villa are 11th with \u00a3413m, meaning both them and the Hammers are ahead of European heavyweights including Juventus (14th with \u00a3385m), Bayern Munich (18th on \u00a3294m) and Real Madrid – who have won five Champions Leagues in that time – in 19th on \u00a3278m.<\/p>\n
Liverpool are a long way off their rivals Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City with a negative net spend of \u00a3395m despite being one of just three English teams to win the Premier League and Champions League over the past decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The financial power of the Premier League can also be outlined by the fact that Everton (\u00a3336m), Crystal Palace (\u00a3322m) and Bournemouth (\u00a3294m) are all ahead of Bayern Munich (\u00a3294m) and Real Madrid \u00a3279m) in the list, with Nottingham Forest – only promoted to the top-flight last year – rounding off the top 20 with \u00a3265m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
