It’s been another difficult season for Chelsea, and the Blues currently find themselves ninth in the league with just three games remaining.
The Blues mathematically can’t finish in the top five, and their only chance of Champions League football is a sixth placed finish if Aston Villa finish fifth and win the Europa League.
It’s well documented that since the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital takeover back in 2022 that Chelsea offer heavily incentivised contracts.
The Blues offer players a much lower base wage than their rivals would get at other clubs, with the contracts heavily incentivised.
Wages for example would increase through Champions League qualification, whilst there would be bonuses for winning trophies.
However, the opposite is also true, with wages reducing through a lack of on pitch success, and The Sun have reported failure to qualify for the Champions League would see clauses activated that would reduce player wages.
The report adds wages could be reduced by between £30,000 and £40,000 per week, which is a significant amount.
