At the end of the group stage FIFA Club World Cup 2025, Chelsea made excess money to pay the transfer fee of striker Liam Delap.
In the last match of Group D FIFA Club World Cup 2025 last morning, Chelsea defeated Espérance de Tunis with a score of 3-0. This victory helped the Blues win tickets to the 1/8 round as the second team.
In the round of 16 teams, Chelsea was fortunate to avoid Bayern Munich – the second team in Group C. Instead, they will meet the first team C, Benfica on June 29. And although only passing the group stage, Chelsea's reward was very large.
According to Sky Sports, including the bonus thanks to the 1/8 round, Chelsea received £ 36.5 million from the FIFA at the Club World Cup 2025. This amount helps them pay the transfer fee and the first year of Liam Delap.
3 weeks ago, Chelsea recruited Liam Delap from Ipswich Town for a fee of £ 30 million. The 22 -year -old striker signed a 6 -year contract and received a salary of £ 100,000/week (equivalent to 4.8 million pounds/year).
FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is the first tournament that Liam Delap attended as Chelsea player. Despite coming to the London Club, the British striker has integrated very well with the coach of Maresca coach.
After 3 matches, Liam Delap scored 1 goal and had 1 assist. With what has shown, the 22 -year -old striker is expected to destroy the “Curse No. 9” at Chelsea.
