Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is ready to break the bank to lure Pep Guardiola away from Barcelona. The Sun says Abramovich is ready to hand super-coach Pep Guardiola a four-year deal worth £40million AFTER TAX to become Chelsea boss.

This would make Guardiola the highest-paid boss in the world with a money-no-object offer worth £10m a year in cash, according to one Blues insider.

He currently earns around £8m a year NET at Barca.
