Following the departure of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid in the summer, Chelsea’s current squad value has decreased by approximately £70million since January 2019.
Hazard joined Madrid for a fee that could reach as high as £150million in the summer, with Chelsea’s squad value dropping by £70.38million.
N’Golo Kante is comfortably the most valuable player at Stamford Bridge, according to transfermarkt, with the France midfielder valued at £90million.
His closest team-mate is Jorginho, who is valued at £58.50million after a strong season under manager Frank Lampard.
In comparison to their Premier League rivals, Chelsea sit in fourth-place in the squad value league table.
London rivals Tottenham Hotspur are about £30million ahead of the Blues, with Liverpool and Manchester City both having squad values of over £1billion.

The departure of Hazard meant Chelsea had the money to spend on Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic – who cost the London side £40.50million after a successful loan spell the season before.
The form of Kepa Arrizabalaga that caused him to be dropped for a while has had a negative impact on the Spaniard’s value.
Kepa was signed for £71.6million from Athletic Bilbao in the summer of 2018, but his value has almost halved; now sitting at £36million.
However, the form of Reece James has seen his value climb to £22.50million and 18-year-old Billy Gilmour has lifted his worth to £5.40million.
