Chelsea signed Moises Caicedo for a record-breaking £115 million and his agent has now revealed how much he earns at the club.
"I believe that Chelsea have made a great investment," said Ali Barat. "In every sense.
"Moises has signed a five-year contract until 30 June 2028 and has gone from a salary of £60,000 a week to the current one of £150,000.
"He has not yet turned 22 and has already made 34 appearances for the Ecuador national team."
Barat added: "After returning to Brighton in January 2022 following his loan to Beerschot, he grew under the guidance of (Graham) Potter and then definitively exploded under the orders of (Roberto) De Zerbi.
"He is a pure talent who blossomed in Independiente del Valle, half an hour from Quito. A mix between (N'Golo) Kanté and (Jude) Bellingham: the Frenchman's speed and the Englishman's technique, an explosive 'cocktail'.
"And to think that the beginnings in Great Britain and Belgium had been very hard for him, caused problems with settling in, with language, of adaptation."
Considering a number of players earn hefty wages at clubs like Man United and Man City, £150,000-a-week for Caicedo seems to be a fair amount. Hopefully he can prove his worth in the coming seasons.
