Chelsea pocket further £29.6m transfer windfall after shock PSG Club World Cup final win

Chelsea have won the Club World Cup and in doing so have pocketed a cool £29.6million from FIFA.

The Blues had already secured at least around £43million thanks to getting all the way to the final in the United States of America and Enzo Maresca now has another £29.6million added to the transfer kitty this summer after lifting the trophy.

Chelsea were excellent, particularly in the first half, as they put UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain to the sword.

Cole Palmer scored twice with almost carbon copy finishes, having actually missed a glorious chance minutes before netting his first of the night in the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Then, Joao Pedro once again proved what an astute signing he already is with a lovely dinked finish over Gianluigi Donnarumma from Palmer's through pass.

PSG were shellshocked, with the Blues in dreamland and all they needed to do was see the game out in the second half.

The tournament was worth a total prize pot of $1billion, with a sporting performance pillar of $475million and a participation pillar of $525million.

Chelsea bagged around £25million for taking part in the competition, although that total is likely to have been more for the Blues based on their UEFA ranking.

Having won two games in the group stages, Chelsea will have also have bagged $4million, with a further $7.5million for reaching the last 16, $13.125million for getting to the quarter-finals and then $21million for making it through to the semi-finals.

It has been an extremely lucrative competition for Chelsea, who have won this inaugural version of the FIFA competition, adding to the Club World Cup title they lifted in 2021.
