Overview

  • The PFCC set a £2.8m base payment to Chelsea with up to £4m in add-ons tied to senior appearances, international honours and future contracts.
  • The fixed sum is non-negotiable, while any bonuses would be paid only if specific milestones are achieved.
  • Chelsea will receive 20% of any profit if Liverpool sell Rio Ngumoha in the future.
  • Ngumoha moved from Chelsea to Liverpool at age 16 in September 2024, triggering training compensation under Premier League rules.
  • The 18-year-old has made 13 appearances for Liverpool this season, including a 100th-minute winner on his Premier League debut, a development highlighted in coverage of the case.
