Roman Abramovich officially sold his football club, Chelsea. A consortium led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital purchased Chelsea for £4.25 billion (approximately Rp75.74 trillion).
This sale is the most expensive of all time, far exceeding the 2005 sale of Manchester United, which cost £800 million.
The 2018 purchase of Arsenal ranks as the third most expensive. The acquisition of the London club cost £600 million.
These three most expensive club purchases were all made by American businessmen: Chelsea by Todd Boehly, Manchester United by the Glazer family, and Arsenal by Stan Kroenke.
This list of the most expensive club acquisitions is also dominated by English clubs. Besides the top three mentioned, there's also Newcastle United, bought by the Saudi Arabian royal family; Liverpool, bought by American businessman John Henry; and Manchester City, bought by Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour.
