CHELSEA are closing in on a £10million loan deal for Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix - and he will instantly become one of the club's top earners.
The Blues look to have beaten Manchester United and Arsenal to the Portuguese star's signature.
And Felix, 23, is expected to become the fourth highest earner at Stamford Bridge.
The former Benfica man, who joined Atletico for £113m in 2019, will reportedly rake in £250,000-a-week.
Raheem Sterling is the club's top earner at £325k per week, with Kai Havertz on £310k and Kalidou Koulibaly on £295k.
But no other Chelsea stars are ahead of Felix - who will be looking to improve on the 34 goals and 18 assists he contributed in 131 appearances at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Chelsea's fifth highest earner is summer signing Wesley Fofana, with the 21-year-old scooping £200k-a-week after his £70m move from Leicester.
Fellow summer arrival Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is claimed to be on £160k-a-week, making him the ninth highest earner.
Marc Cucurella takes home £175k-a-week, which is less than left-back rival Ben Chilwell, who is thought to be on £190k-a-week.
Reece James has shot up to the club's fourth highest earner alongside the incoming Felix after the England defender signed a mega new £250k-a-week deal.
And while Mason Mount currently only scoops £88k-a-week, it may not be long until he's alongside the likes of James.
The Blues are keen to tie the academy graduate down to a new deal after securing James' long-term future.
The Blues have handed 18-year-old Carney Chukwuemeka a reported £85k-a-week deal.
And summer deadline day loan addition Denis Zakaria is thought to be on £35k-a-week.
Back-up keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga earns £190k-a-week, more than double rival shot-stopper Edouard Mendy.
Other big earners include Christian Pulisic, who rakes in £160k-a-week.
Jorginho and Thiago Silva are both on £110k-a-week, while Mateo Kovacic and Hakim Ziyech each earn £100k-a-week, as per Spotrac's figures.
