Chelsea Activates Break Clause, Limits Rosenior Payout to £4m

Chelsea have triggered the break clause in Liam Rosenior’s six-and-a-half-year deal, cutting his severance to just £4 million instead of the previously estimated £24 million. This move saves the club an initial ₦36 billion hit. Reports from Fabrizio Romano and talkSPORT reveal the clause slashes the compensation owed and sets Rosenior’s pay at approximately £174,000 per game and £364,000 per win. The decision comes after a brief but turbulent spell in charge. Rosenior’s tenure began with four straight league victories but collapsed into just one win in nine matches. Dressing-room doubts grew after a five-game winless streak, prompting the board to act. Calum McFarlane now takes over on an interim basis as Chelsea aim to steady their season and eye a permanent replacement. The episode raises fresh questions over the club’s long-term managerial strategy.
