Chelsea Football Club are not happy – and they want big money from Liverpool Chelsea push ‘crazy’ demand in battle with Liverpool

According to recent reports, Chelsea is reportedly at odds with Liverpool over the compensation fee for teenage sensation Rio Ngumoha, who moved from Chelsea’s academy to Liverpool in the summer of 2024

. While the transfer followed the Premier League’s guidelines for players under 18, Chelsea is entitled to a training compensation fee, which is yet to be decided by a Professional Football Compensation Committee (PFCC) tribunal.

Chelsea are pushing for a significant fee for Ngumoha, especially considering his impressive performance and recent winning goal in his Premier League debut for Liverpool. They are believed to be seeking a figure comparable to the £4.3 million ($5.7 million) Liverpool paid to Fulham for Harvey Elliott in a similar tribunal case.

This situation has reportedly caused tension between the two clubs, with Chelsea reportedly banning Liverpool scouts from attending their academy matches. It is understood that Liverpool has responded in kind.

It is important to note that the term “crazy demand” is subjective and reflects the perceived high compensation fee Chelsea is seeking for Ngumoha’s transfer.
