As the Premier League season nears its conclusion, Chelsea’s final three fixtures could hold more than just the promise of European football—they could also deliver significant financial rewards for the players.

According to reports, several Chelsea stars have performance-related clauses in their contracts, entitling them to a pay rise of around 20 percent if the club secures Champions League qualification. With the top five spots in the league potentially offering a ticket to Europe’s most prestigious club competition due to England’s strong UEFA coefficient, Chelsea’s end-of-season push has taken on extra meaning.

The Blues are set to face Newcastle on May 11, Manchester United on May 16, and Nottingham Forest on May 25. These crucial fixtures not only represent a chance to finish the season on a high but could also prove lucrative for a squad that has shown flashes of brilliance under Enzo Maresca.

The contract incentives reflect the club’s ambition to return to the European elite. After a challenging rebuild period, qualifying for the Champions League would mark a major step forward—and help reinforce the board’s commitment to rewarding performance.

With motivation at an all-time high, Chelsea’s players will be keen to deliver on the pitch—and earn their spot among Europe’s best, both in terms of prestige and pay.
