Higuian Is Chelsea's 4th Highest Earner

Gonzalo Higuain could be left out of the Milan squad travelling to face Genoa on Monday, as his Chelsea move is imminent.

Gonzalo Higuain will complete his loan move to Chelsea in the next 48 hours. The striker will sign a £270,000 a week contract making him one of the highest paid players in the Premier League.

Chelsea's highest earner, Ngolo Kante and Blues best player, Eden Hazard receive £280,000 and £200,000 respectively.

The Blues goalkeeper, Kepa Arizabalaga who receive £192,000 per week are the only three players earning better pay than the former Real Madrid player with £172,000 per week

While the deals are believed to be almost done for Higuain to join Chelsea and Milan to replace him with Krzysztof Piatek, the details are not expected to be finalised until at least Tuesday morning.

It therefore remains to be seen if Coach Gennaro Gattuso will bring Pipita along to Marassi for the Serie A game, or if he has already made his final appearance in a Rossoneri jersey.

Meanwhile, negotiations continue with Genoa over Piatek, as the €35m plus bonuses and a player deal is still being worked out.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Grifone decided against Alen Halilovic and would prefer Andrea Bertolacci as part of the exchange instead.
