19. Diego Costa: €65.5 Million ($71.56 Million)
Diego Costa may be the most frustrating player in all of the Premier League. The Chelsea man can, when he flicks the figurative switch, change a match in a single sequence of play and create headaches for any opposing side. Costa is also an emotional player who can pick up a pair of yellow cards just as quickly. There could soon come a point where Chelsea decide that the 27-year-old is just not worth the trouble, especially if the Blues are going to miss out on European club football’s biggest competition next season. Chelsea would be wise to at least listen to offers for Costa.
18. Romelu Lukaku: €68.2 Million ($74.51 Million)
Chelsea have made plenty of noteworthy miscues over the past few seasons. Giving up on Romelu Lukaku and selling him to Everton may, all things considered, top the list. Lukaku has become a clinical striker, to the point that the Mirror has suggested that he has been better than Sergio Aguero. That is high praise for any forward. While Everton would be wise to retain Lukaku, the 22-year-old could fetch a transfer fee that the club may not be able to refuse. Lukaku, meanwhile, will want to play Champions League football and also earn the raise that comes with playing for such a side.
