Chelsea to reward top performer with new contract after stunning year

Chelsea are reportedly keen to offer a key player a new contract sooner or later. 

Enzo Maresca’s Champions League-chasing team are fifth in the Premier League table and have one foot in the Conference League final later this month, having claimed a 4-1 success over Djurgarden in Sweden. 

As they head into the concluding weeks of the 2024-25 season, Fabrizio Romano reports that the Blues are about to begin discussions with one midfield star. 

According to the transfer guru, Chelsea want to offer Moises Caicedo a new deal to reward the Ecuadorian after another outstanding season. 

Having joined the London club from Brighton in 2023, Caicedo has overcome a shaky start at Stamford Bridge to become one of the club’s best players. 

The 23-year-old was voted Chelsea Player of the Season by fans and teammates on Sunday after an incredible individual season. 

Caicedo signed an eight-year deal in 2023, possibly keeping him at Chelsea until 2031, but an extension could now be in the offing. 

While Romano reports that formal discussions have yet to start, the West London club intend to begin the process soon.

As of May 2025, Caicedo earns £150,000 weekly at the West London club, making him the seventh-highest earner at Stamford Bridge among players currently in Maresca's squad.

Maresca’s men host Djurgarden on Thursday, seeking to hold on to their Conference League semi-final advantage. 

The Blues will face either Real Betis or Fiorentina in the final if they advance.
