ROMEO LAVIA is set to be on the lower end of Chelsea’s highest earners when he completes his move.
The midfielder has snubbed Liverpool in favour of a move to the Blues, who have agreed a £58million transfer with Southampton.
It is set to take Todd Boehly’s Stamford Bridge spending to almost £1BILLION since replacing Roman Abramovich in May 2022.
The American has twice smashed the Premier League record transfer fee, spending £107m on Enzo Fernandez and then £115m for Moises Caicedo.
But according to The Athletic, Boehly is introducing a new wage system.
