‘This is what I expect’ Moises Caicedo to earn after agreeing new Chelsea deal
Moises Caicedo is set to be rewarded for his superb form with a new Chelsea deal which will include a big pay rise.
Caicedo has been heavily praised this season and is quickly developing into one of the best players in the world.
The 24-year-old was impressive yet again as Chelsea beat Wolves 3-0 on Saturday (8 November) evening.
Enzo Maresca’s side are up to third in the Premier League now, and sit just six points behind table-topping Arsenal.
Chelsea to offer Moises Caicedo new deal
Chelsea are planning to offer Caicedo a new deal in the near future, as they look to ward off any potential interest in the midfielder.
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – believes that the Ecuadorian will receive a big pay increase as a result.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness revealed that Caicedo’s weekly wage will likely rise from £150k to around £225k.
Wyness added that he deserves the reward for his consistency and excellence in recent times.
He told Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast: “Before this new contract, he was on about £150k a week.
“I expect Caicedo to go up to something like £200k, £225k per week, plus the very heavy performance-related bonuses that the Chelsea players have got.
“I think he’s going to go up to that level. I think he deserves it. He’s played well. He’s performed, and I think he’s probably been one of their best players by far.
“I think that Chelsea have got to show in that culture that you do get rewarded for consistency and for excellence. And I think this is part of their whole thinking. But he is a quality player.”
Bayern Munich make Nicolas Jackson decision
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich are not expected to sign on-loan Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson permanently, sources have told Football Insider.
The German giants have a £70million option to buy the 24-year-old, but sources say that they are likely to send him back to West London.
That is despite Bayern holding talks with Chelsea over Jackson in an attempt to negotiate a lower fee to bring the striker to Munich on a permanent basis.
Sources say that the door is now open for a potential Premier League return in January for the Senegalese striker.
