Chelsea transfer news: Blues owed fee from Liverpool as part of Dominic Solanke’s £19m Bournemouth move

Chelsea are set to profit from Dominic Solanke’s £19million move from Liverpool to Bournemouth, according to reports.

The Reds agreed to a sell-on clause when they signed the striker from Chelsea back in 2017, which will now come into effect.

Solanke’s move to Anfield came after his contract expired at Stamford Bridge and talks over a compensation fee dragged out for much of the 2017/18 season.

A year after the deal was struck, the clubs eventually agreed on £3million with a sell-on clause included, according to the Daily Express.

However, the exact amount of the £19million that Chelsea will receive remains unclear.

Despite arriving at Liverpool with high expectations, the England international failed to impress and left with just a single goal to his name.

And the striker may have to wait until February to make his Cherries debut due to a hamstring injury.

“I think the club is going somewhere,” Solanke told Bournemouth’s official club website.

“Over the past few years, they have been really good in the Premier League and had some good positional finishes as well. I think it’s a good club to be at, especially for someone of my age.

“I spoke with the manager this morning [Friday]. He is a really nice guy. From playing and watching the Premier League, I know the sort of manager he is. I was excited to meet him and am really looking forward to working with him and seeing what he’s about.

“My main target is to score goals and, being a striker, hopefully I can get a few for the team and help the team get wins. Playing in the Premier League, every game is tough and together we can try to do as well as we can.”
