Chelsea have recorded a record-breaking £342million loss before tax in the 2024/25 season, according to information from a new report released by UEFA.
UEFA’s annual European Club Finance and Investment Landscape report has now been published and it includes the 10 clubs with the biggest losses last season.
Chelsea are at the top of the list when it comes to losses, with the BlueCo-owned club recording a £342million pre-tax deficit – the largest total in English football history.
UEFA’s report does not include the details of the club’s finances, so it is unclear at this point exactly how Chelsea recorded such a significant pre-tax loss.
Barcelona recorded a bigger loss (£483.9m) in 2020/21, but that’s the only larger pre-tax deficit than Chelsea’s. The Blues’ loss last season was more than double the amount of the next highest – Lyon’s £165million – in Europe.
