Roman Abrahamovic's arrival in 2003 kick-started a revolution at Chelsea. The London-based club's flurry of deals since the Russian billionaire's takeover has transformed them into a major powerhouse in Europe.

However, in spite of their regular and significant activities in the transfer market, the Blues have also accumulated herculean net debt figures, extending up to €800 million. That is perhaps the crucial reason why the otherwise wealthy club is placed so low on the list.

Eden Hazard, their most talented player, is also the most valuable one, valued at €100 million. Also, his teammates N'Golo Kante, Thibaut Courtois and new signing Alvaro Morata have market values of €50 million and above.
