How much bonus Todd Boehly will actually pay Chelsea players if they win the Carabao Cup
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!In the impending clash on Sunday, Chelsea finds themselves yearning for triumph over Liverpool, not merely for the coveted Carabao Cup trophy but also driven by an additional impetus that beckons the players.
Should the blues emerge triumphant, a monetary windfall awaits the squad. However, reports from the Daily Mail suggest that this financial boon may be somewhat modest in comparison to the largesse bestowed upon Manchester United’s players following their League Cup victory in the preceding season.
The publication contends that Chelsea’s players are slated to divide a £500,000 bonus, a sum ostensibly under the watchful gaze of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, exercising prudence in the allocation of bonuses. In stark contrast, United liberally disbursed £1.6 million to their triumphant squad in the annals of 2023.
As the contest approaches, the primary preoccupation for the players revolves around seizing the coveted trophy, a sentiment particularly resonant with figures like Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell. Since the advent of these defensive stalwarts at Chelsea, the club has witnessed a string of defeats in domestic cup finals, including two against Liverpool. Sunday presents an opportune moment for reprisal against their English adversaries.
While £500,000 may appear inconspicuous in the echelons of football’s financial stratosphere, it stands as yet another catalyst propelling Chelsea towards success on Sunday.
Yet, the squad’s animating force remains anchored in the pursuit of cup glory and the prospect of outclassing their perennial rivals, Liverpool, evoking memories of the heartbreak inflicted upon them two years prior. Chelsea’s recent upswing in form augurs well for their chances, especially considering the Reds grappling with an injury crisis.
Despite the unavailability of stalwarts like Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jurgen Klopp retains the formidable duo of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. This singular pairing arguably positions Liverpool as favorites for the final, but dismissing Chelsea outright would be premature.
