2. Juan Cuadrado – Net worth: £28 million
A mid-season acquisition by Chelsea after several produtive seasons with Fiorentina, Cuadrado got 12 starts as a winger – not enough for a big sample size – but maybe he’ll start earning that big-time contract as a full-time starter for the Blues next season. Time will tell.
1. Nemanja Matic – Net worth: £29.9 million
Sorry Matic, you may be one of the best defenders in football, but you own the distinction of being the highest paid Chelsea player worth potentially less than horse sperm.
With 36 solid appearances that helped Chelsea finish with one of the most complete teams in the Premier League, Matic earned every dollar and pound he made en route to PFA Team of the Year honors. But as good as Matic is, he’s a few pounds short of the value American Pharoah’s offspring will bring to the sports world.
