Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, has claimed that the other challengers for the Premier League title are trying to buy it.
The Blues have only brought in Asmir Begovic and Radamel Falcao this summer to replace Petr Cech and Didier Drogba.
Meanwhile, Manchester City have splashed £49m alone on bringing in Raheem Sterling from Liverpool and have recruited Fabian Delph from Aston Villa. Liverpool have also invested heavily in their squad, buying Christian Benteke, Firmino, James Milner, Danny Ings, etc.
Mourinho admits it is like his first stint as Chelsea manager, where he blew £150m on players like Didier Drogba, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Arjen Robben and Petr Cech.
“In the beginning of Mr Abramovich coming to Chelsea, Chelsea was buying the title,” Mourinho said after the friendly win over PSG on Saturday.
“Now, they are buying the title. All of them, they are buying the title.
“It is up to us to be strong and to fight them and, obviously, to try and win it again, even without the big investments”.
