Chelsea set to receive significant financial windfall thanks to deal they made in 2024

Chelsea originally re-signed the Belgian striker from Inter Milan for a club-record £97.5 million fee in the summer of 2021, expecting him to serve as the focal point of their frontline.

However, the high-profile return quickly faltered following off-pitch controversy and on-field inconsistency, leading to consecutive Italian loan spells back at Inter Milan and Roma.

He was eventually sold permanently to Napoli, ending a frustrating chapter in West London.

While his tenure on the pitch in London fell short of expectations, his impending move to Turkey ensures Chelsea still derive a late financial benefit from their former record signing.
