6 Chelsea Players Named In Top 100 Most Expensive Footballers

6 Chelsea Players Named In Top 100 Most Expensive Footballers

Six Chelsea stars have been named among the top 100 most valuable players in world football based on transfer valuation.

Six Chelsea players have been named in the CIES Football Observatory’s top 100 estimated transfer values in world football.

The Premier League dominate the list, with 41 of the 100 players playing in the English top flight.

The Football Observatory have revealed the top 100 estimated transfers, with several Chelsea and former Blue players making the list.

Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Reece James, Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner and Christian Pulisic all make the top 100 as Chelsea boast six players named within the top 100 highest estimated transfer values in world football.

Mount sits highest out of the Blues stars, valued at €100.3m and in 14th place overall, with Havertz valued at €93.6m.

James is valued at €82.5m, with Lukaku next on the list for the Blues at €68.8m despite signing for £97.5m last summer.

Werner comes next, valued at €56.2m as he has been linked with a summer departure, with Pulisic the final Chelsea player on the list as he is valued at €53m.

Several Chelsea transfer targets also appear on the list with the likes of Josko Gvardiol valued at a huge €99.8m, with fellow central defender and Chelsea-linked Jules Kounde at €76.5m.

The pair have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer as Thomas Tuchel has identified the defensive duo as ideal replacements for Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, with neither appearing on the list.

Furthermore, Chelsea are reportedly monitoring Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt, who has a £120m release clause in his contract.

The Dutch international is valued at significantly less than this on the Football Observatory list, at €63.2m.

Former Blues defender Marc Guehi sits at the bottom of the list for central defenders, valued at €50.5m just a year after departing the Blues for Crystal Palace.

Another Chelsea-linked star, Christopher Nkunku, is valued at €72.5m as Tuchel could look to reunite with the midfielder, who he previously worked with at Paris Saint-Germain.

Former Chelsea players and Belgium national teammates Thibaut Courtois and Kevin De Bruyne also sit on the list with the goalkeeper seen as the fourth most valuable shot-stopper in the world. De Bruyne is listed as the 12th most valuable attacking midfielder.

With Kylian Mbappe penning a new contract at PSG in recent weeks, he comfortably sits at the top of the list with Champions League winner Vinicius Jr and Man City new-boy Erling Haaland making up the top three.
