João Félix and Noni Madueke, who were brought in for a combined £66 million, both struggled to make a lasting impact during their time at Stamford Bridge.
Despite flashes of brilliance, inconsistency and injuries meant neither player truly cemented their place in the squad. Fast forward to this summer, and both have now been moved on but here’s the shocker: Chelsea have managed to secure a combined £95.7 million from their sales.
That’s a remarkable £29.7 million profit on two players many had labelled as failed signings, marking a rare financial win for the Blues in recent transfer windows. While fans debate whether the club should have given them more time, the business side of the deals is already being hailed as a smart piece of work by the Chelsea board.
