Chelsea discover how much they will have to pay for Lampard release

Chelsea would have to pay around £4m in compensation for Derby to allow Frank Lampard to join his old club as manager, according to the BBC.

Lampard has just finished his first season as a manager with the Rams, but already a spot seems to be about to open up at the club where he spent 13 seasons.

The legend of the club had a solid season in the Championship, leading his team to the Playoff Final, but before anyone might have expected he’s set to get the call up to club he was always bound to manage someday.

Maurizio Sarri is set to join Juventus, and now the Italian side has agreed to pay the reported £6m for our current boss, the way is clear – and the cash is available – for Lampard to come back to Stamford Bridge.

That amount is pennies in the modern game, and the moment Sarri is out of the door, we will likely see our boy Frank arrive without much delay.
