While Liverpool are set to be bystanders in the mad scramble that is transfer deadline day, Chelsea's spending is seemingly far from over.
The Stamford Bridge club, acquired by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital last year, have engaged in a spending spree the likes of which the Premier League hasn't seen before.
After landing Mykhailo Mudryk earlier this month there was no slowing down in the approach of Chelsea's new owners. Having been rebuffed in their attempts to lure Argentinian World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez, 21, from Benfica earlier in January the London club have returned ahead of the window closing to try and get their man, bidding over the €120m (£105m) release clause for a player who had been linked with Liverpool for some time.
