Chelsea decided to reduce the wage bill

Premier League giants Chelsea is the club to have the highest wage bill in England, due to this reason they offload  players like Ballack, Belleti, Joe Cole and Ricardo Carvalho with massive wages during the last summer transfer window. Now reports suggest that they are ready to offload out of form star Frank Lampard who is 32 years old now and paid around £7.2m a year.

Currently Chelsea's wage bill is much higher than that of Manchester City's bill, Ashley Cole is the worlds most leftback, Peter Cech is the Premier league's most expensive goalkeeper and so on.. We saw during the winter transfer window Chelsea signs Fernando Torres and David Luiz with a massive fee but on reasonable wage. Chelsea also renewed the contract of their teenage star Gael Kakuta.

Now including Chelsea clubs all around the world have adapt they strategy of singing young players from every part of the world, we saw in past Arsenal adapted the same strategy and now they have players like Robin Van Persie, Cesc Fabregas, Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri on nominal wages but on the other end they are not the most successful club due to lack of experienced players in their squad.

We saw when new American owners completed the takeover they immediately appointed former Tottenham sporting director Damien Comolli as the Director of football strategy. And in no time they offloaded aged Benayoun and out of form Fernando Torres at a very very good price. They also bring young players like Jonjo Shelvey, Suarez and Andy Caroll. Now they have plotted £5.5m for Ghanaian international Andre Ayew. Liverpool is also linked with number of young exciting players like Ashley Young, Charles Nzogbia and Eden Hazard.

Today Sao Paulo have confirmed they that they ave agreed a deal with Chelsea Lucas Piazon. the 17-year od midfielder will move to Premier League in January 2012 which is firs transfer window to open after he turns 18 later this year. The deal is worth around £5.3m, Chelsea faced a tough competition from Juventus but eventually got the deal in their favor.
