Mirror: Chelsea aims at £97m in the Club World Cup championship bonus, which can complement the finances to attract stars

June 15, The Mirror reported that Chelsea hopes to bring 100 million pounds of revenue in the Club World Cup. The Blues will participate in the 32-team Club World Cup held in the United States, after they won the championship in the 2022 old competition system.

At that time, under the leadership of former boss Abramovich, the club enjoyed a period of glory, harvested multiple important trophies and had multiple superstars. Today, Chelsea's co-owners Burley and Bechdard Egbali have adopted different strategies to gradually build a solid foundation by developing young players. They are trying to recruit Europe's best young talents and technical players from all over the world in order to achieve long-term success. However, this summer's Club World Cup prize, the champion can receive £97 million, which will be a turning point for a team like Chelsea in the total prize pool of £775 million.

Chelsea have signed Saar, Drapp and others, and directly included them in the 28-man roster of the Club World Cup. This means Sterling and Felix will stay at home, and Fofana will also stay at Stamford Bridge to continue his recovery. While Chelsea remains committed to its long-term strategy of developing young players, they also understand that winning major trophys can help attract more stars and help pay for their transfer fees.

Maresca led the team to the next season's Champions League and won the UEFA Cup, which proves the club's trust in its coach and his ability to build the team for the long-term future, especially his ability to develop young players. This also allowed them to invest again, such as spending more than £100 million on Kesedo and Enzo respectively. Because of this, Chelsea is determined to take this game seriously and prepare to start their journey next Tuesday against Los Angeles FC in Atlanta.
