New Chelsea signing, Joao Felix, is expected to earn the sum of £250,000, per week at Stamford Bridge.
The Portuguese forward joined Chelsea on loan for the remainder of the season on Wednesday.
According to Sky Sports, Chelsea co-owner, Todd Boehly splashed out an €11 million loan fee for Felix.
Following his loan move from Athletico Madrid, the North London side will also bear the entirety of the Portugal international’s wages.
Chelsea beat the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United in the race for Felix.
Felix’s departure was motivated by his worsening relationship with Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone.
He has scored 34 goals in 131 appearances for Atletico and won the 2020-21 league title with the Spanish side.
Felix joined Atletico from Benfica in a €126m (£111m) deal from Benfica in 2019.
Felix could make his Chelsea debut against Fulham on Thursday night, but Blues manager Graham Potter says the team is waiting to hear whether or not he can play in the west London derby.

Meanwhile, Chelsea aren’t expected to draw the curtains on their transfer activities as they’re on the verge of completing Christopher Nkunku’s deal.
The RB Leipzig and French international is close to signing for the Blues.
The Athletic stated that Chelsea have offered to pay Leipzig more than Nkunku’s $60 million release clause.
Nkunku was voted the Bundesliga Player of the Season last season after tallying 20 goals and 13 assists.
The Blues are also expected to continue their pursuit of Borussia Monchengladbach forward, Marcus Thuram.
According to The Times, Chelsea want to sign Thuram, 25, and his contract runs out in the summer.
The North London side have also secured the signing of Benoit Badiashile David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos, while also monitoring the situation with Ukrainian prodigy, Mykhaylo Mudryk.
