Chelsea will avoid paying lucrative bonuses to players for their Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup triumphs despite pocketing over £7million in prize money from lifting both trophies.
Sportsmail understands Blues players did not negotiate any additional financial rewards for winning the two prestigious competitions during talks with club officials at the start of the season.
Clubs agree a bonus schedule with their respective squads ahead of each season, which traditionally act as an extra incentive for players.
Chelsea stars are entitled to supplementary payments from the club should they win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup or League Cup.
