Chelsea’s players will share a bonus pot of £11million if they complete a Champions League and FA Cup double.
Thomas Tuchel’s squad have already earned aggregate bonuses of £5m for reaching the Champions League final for the third time in the club’s history and another £5m will be on the line when they face Manchester City in Istanbul on May 29.
In addition the players will split a £1m collective bonus if they beat Leicester in the FA Cup final on May 15.
Chelsea run a collective players’ pool, with all bonuses shared equally amongst members of their match-day squad, meaning each player stands to earn around £500,000 if they win the Champions League.
This approach contrasts with that favoured by City, who negotiate individual bonuses with each player when they sign their contracts at the club.
City’s overall bonus liability is also higher, with the club committed to paying out around £15m in bonuses if they win the Champions League for the first time.
The top earners in Pep Guardiola’s squad, such as Kevin De Bruyne, have £1m bonus clauses written into their contracts. Other players will take home a bonus of about £600,000, while fringe squad members are set to receive a lower bonus.
Such lavish bonuses pale when set alongside the money Chelsea and City are set to earn for winning the Champions League. The winners will receive a windfall of £100m prize money and broadcast revenue, £16.5m of which is handed out by UEFA just for winning the final alone.
Chelsea expect to receive details of ticketing arrangements for the final from UEFA on Thursday, with the European governing body planning to welcome up to 4000 fans from each club to the Ataturk Stadium as part of a crowd of 25,000.
Turkey’s period of lockdown is due to end on May 17 so travelling will not have to quarantine on arrival, but with the country set to be placed on the UK government’s amber list when international travel resumes in 10 days’ time fans will be forced to isolate and take multiple Covid-tests upon their return, which will add considerably to the cost of the trip.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will seek clarity on N’Golo Kante’s long-term future as soon as the season is over.
The France international remains one of the Blues’ most influential players and is known to have deeply impressed Tuchel since the German’s arrival in January.
However, there is some uncertainty over the World Cup winner’s future as he enters the final two years of his deal.
Kante turns 31 in March but remains one of the planet’s elite midfielders, however Chelsea would prefer to avoid the scenario of the former Leicester star running his contract down.

I have all the respect for City and appreciate the team, I have not undermined them, the fact that you'll win PL and that Chelsea are UCL favorite does not mean I'm undermining City.

next season we are gonna defend our title which is something we are good at . Lol i have no problem in city playing again chelsea only p***ies are afraid of chelsea right now , you guys have had a good run and now you think you are the best team in the world 🤣🤣 🥴 , beating average teams like sevilla , porto and even a struggling real madrid doesn't make a great team kid on the other hand we have kicked your a** up and down in the league since pep has become our coach , remember 6-0 . We will emerge victorious im Istanbul . Only daft peole like you took tuchel's comment seriously and you should be real afraid of our magnificent champion team that thrashed last year finalist. I repeat we are better than chelsea in every fcking thing . Lol creating a team that no one wants to play against , what an absolute joke 🤣😂🤣 . We are the team you don't wanna face , so when you face our best side , you are gonna run crying back to your little hole.

lol See your reasoning 😂😂 "If Chelsea are so great where are they on the table?" they are 4th and credit goes to Tuchel, when he came Chelsea was ranking 9th every reasonable football fan will appreciate what Tuchel has done. Roman looks into the best interest of the club, players and fans he wants to see a system that works for everyone he does not want to satisfy just one individual, we love him💙. Yes we struggled in the PL because we had no good manager we dropped in points, but we've worked hard to be in top 4 any reasonable fan will appreciate this. But hey let's see how you face Chelsea at the start of next season. "You are way better than Chelsea in everything?" if I were you I would think twice about that, Chelsea has become one of the best teams in Europe no one wants to play against. Timo Werner causes a lot of defense problems, despite not finding back of the net his speed is soo awesome to create a lot of chances for us🤗. You downplay Chelsea to just winning FA because you're not in that competition anymore, and who kicked you out of that competition? Chelsea of course. So I understand your venom and hate against us, we will go ahead and win FA. Every fan at Chelsea has the real spirit of football and we know it, we feel it that 2012 is our 2021 see you in Istanbul 💙💙💙. Have a nice day mate.

lol we don't fear ANYONE , if chelsea are so great where are they on league table ?? , pep is a million miles ahead of tuchel and roman tried his a** off to sign pep but he refused because of how your club treats managers . Whatever happens tomorrow , we will win in Istanbul coz we have been better than chelsea this season , you underestimate the champions of the league where you are gonna struggle to be in top 4 . We are way better than chelsea in everything. You should be scared because your little timo (who doesn't know how to shoot on target )will be pocketed by our defense . Only thing you can win is FA cup and be happy with that because you ain't getting s*** in Istanbul .

Chelsea has no chance of qualifying for Champions league next season in league top 4 fight . so the only way coning & swindle them to play CL 21-22 is manipulating the tin tan brains to win CL final and to me as might Manchester united fan would love to see us beat Chelsea /Tuchel in Super cup b4 league games for I love us beating seashells every season to avenge this 😡👇

outright rubbish! I pray you don't have any disorder or you're just visually impaired?? Go and ask Pep to give you excerpt videos of that match: I'm sure you'll need it to remind yourself of Chelsea's turbulent masterclass ..bow down to greatness when u c one...! London's blue and the only authentic 🔵 is Chelsea!! You've the right run your 👄 but don't speak so ignorantly like a mouse in the dark with the full glare of a 😸...may your Pep save ur ass that day.
