Hudson-Odoi Extension worth £ 150,000 plus additions per week

According to a report from Goal, Chelsea should have increased Callum Hudson-Odoi's wages from £ 100,000 a week to £ 150,000, with potential up to £ 180,000 in performance-based bonuses, thanks to the strong pressure exerted by Bayern Munich. this saga of contract lasted more than six months.

Chelsea had presented a five-year extension offer at £ 100,000 in November, but at the time, Hudson-Odoi was barely playing. In fact, as confirmed by Rob Green, hero of Baku, in the podcast of Byline, it is precisely because of this riddle that Hudson-Odoi submitted his transfer request (rejected). Fortunately, his minutes have increased considerably from there, as have the proposed salaries. He is now ready to be the cornerstone of Chelsea's future and the expansion is expected to be announced soon. And we all lived happy forever.

These figures seem outrageous for an 18-year-old, but it's still a pittance compared to the millions of dollars that are currently being earned on the transfer market. Chelsea's maximum financial commitment to Hudson-Odoi is less than GBP 10 million per season – which would have even placed him two years ago, would put him firmly at the center of the pack as far as Chelsea's FFP costs, and that was before we spent £ 200m + just in transfer fees on Kepa, Pulisic, Jorginho and Kovacic.

The highest paid player in Chelsea is currently N'Golo Kanté, who earns around £ 300,000 a week (and is worth every penny without a doubt). Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas were two of the biggest winners on the team, before both left last year. Chelsea pays some of the highest salaries in all of football, but Hudson-Odoi's salary is not excessive compared to other players who should make a strong contribution to the cause.

And if he manages to hit all his bonuses and prove that he's really the real deal, the void left by Hazard's exit might not be felt so deeply in the end.
