"The updated list of the 100 costliest squads to assemble in world football has been revealed by the CIES Football Observatory, with 24 English clubs included. Unsurprisingly, Chelsea top the list for a second consecutive year with their current squad being assembled at a cost of 1.1 billion. Moises Caicedo who is ranked at no.6 in FourFourTwo's list of the best defensive midfielders in the world right now is the most expensive of their countless recruits at a then-British transfer record fee of 115m."
"The Blues are followed by the rest of the so-called Big Six with the two Manchester Clubs close behind, City committing 981m on their current squad and United 931m. Liverpool break into the top four after a summer splurge which saw them break the transfer record twice on Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, while Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur's heavy spend puts them ahead of multiple European giants."
