Chelsea have spent \u00a3100m on another player after signing Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa for a \u00a3117m fee.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It comes after their \u00a3115m and \u00a3107m purchases of Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez back in 2023.<\/p>\n

\n

Chelsea have had no trouble spending \u00a3100m on players, but will BlueCo ever receive that amount of money for one of their own assets?<\/p>\n

The Chelsea Chronicle<\/strong> has listed five Chelsea stars who may be able to fetch a \u00a3100m transfer fee one day and who is most likely to do it first.<\/p>\n

Who is the best \u00a3100m midfielder in the Premier League?<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Enzo Fernandez<\/h2>\n

Fernandez is a good place to start. Chelsea paid \u00a3107m for the midfielder, so they are going to want a similar fee to sell him.<\/p>\n

In fact, it is thought that Chelsea currently value Fernandez at \u00a3120m as the 25-year-old pushes for a move away from Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Cole Palmer<\/h2>\n

If Chelsea were to put Cole Palmer up for sale today, he would easily draw \u00a3100m bids. The Englishman is one of the best forwards in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

The Blues will not want to sell Palmer and he has a contract until 2033, meaning it is going to take a ridiculous offer for the club to even consider parting ways with him.<\/p>\n

Moises Caicedo<\/h2>\n

Should Caicedo ask to leave Chelsea, he would be in a very similar situation to Fernandez.<\/p>\n

In their eyes, the Ecuadorian is another \u00a3100m midfielder, hence their \u00a3115m offer to Brighton & Hove Albion for his services three years ago. With a contract similar to Palmer\u2019s, he will not be going for anything lower than \u00a3100m.<\/p>\n

Jo\u00e3o Pedro<\/h2>\n

Joao Pedro is probably not a \u00a3100m footballer just yet. Last season was his first real prolific one in England.<\/p>\n

However, if the Brazilian has another strong campaign, you would probably be able to put him in that bracket. Barcelona wanted to sign Pedro this summer, so in the future, that is one admirer who may be willing to drop \u00a3100m on him.<\/p>\n

Estevao Willian<\/h2>\n

Estevao Willian has such a high ceiling that the 19-year-old becoming a \u00a3100m forward feels inevitable.<\/p>\n

Estevao has so much time to grow and improve, and with the direction that the market is heading in, by the time he gets to his mid-20s, it is hard to imagine him costing anything less than \u00a3100m. By then, spending \u00a3100m on a Premier League player will probably be the norm.<\/p>\n

Enzo Fernandez likely to be BlueCo\u2019s first \u00a3100m sale<\/h2>\n

Fernandez wants to leave Chelsea immediately, and the midfielder market is very expensive right now.<\/p>\n

Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali have just gone for \u00a3116m and \u00a3100m respectively, while Mateus Fernandes cost his new employers \u00a385m.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, everything is pointing towards Fernandez potentially being the first Chelsea player to earn BlueCo \u00a3100m from one sale.<\/p>\n
