Fofana, Ramos, Van Dijk, Maguire: World's 18 highest-paid CBs listed

Wesley Fofana has completed his £75m move from Leicester City to Chelsea.

The Frenchman was ecstatic after he completed the move on Wednesday afternoon.

Speaking to Chelsea’s official website, Fofana said: “The two last days have been really big days for me and I’m very happy. I trained this morning with the team and it’s a dream for me. I’m very excited to start playing games for the fans and the club.

“I’m here to win trophies – the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, everything. I came here to win and the club is built to win trophies so I’m here to continue that.”

Fofana has signed a seven-year deal with the club. The Daily Mail reported earlier this month that his wages will be £200,000-per-week.

That means he will earn a cool £72.8m million over the course of his stint at Chelsea. Not bad.

But how does his wages compare to the world’s highest-paid centre-backs?
