Chelsea: Salary and weekly wages of every first team star revealed

Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in Europe and it is no surprise that players of the likes of Hazard, Morata and Willian get paid handsome amounts to pull on the famous Blue shirt. The Premier League champions have a star-studded squad and the wage bill of the Blues is close to the transfer budget of some of the small teams!

However, there are some surprising cases of some well-established first-team stars getting much less than what they deserve. Without much ado, let us take a look at the wages of every first team star in Chelsea at the moment:

#21 Eduardo Carvalho (Goalkeeper) - £10,000/week

The 35-year-old is Chelsea's third-choice goalkeeper and has been at the club since 2016. A respected goalkeeper, Eduardo is most well known for his stints at Genoa and Dinamo Zagreb.

#20 Kenedy (Left-back/winger) - £25,000/week

Recently in the news for making racist comments in China, Kenedy has made 15 Premier League appearances so far for Chelsea. Still only 21, the Brazilian will be hopeful of making an impact in the future.

#19 Andreas Christensen (Centre-back) - £35,000/week

One of the most promising players in the Chelsea squad, Andreas Christensen is tipped to become one of the mainstays of the Chelsea defence. Still only 21, the Danish defender will be looking to make himself an integral part of Conte's plans this season.

#18 Willy Caballero (Goalkeeper) - £40,000/week

Signed as a free agent after a spell at Manchester City, Willy Caballero is an ideal backup goalkeeper for Thibaut Courtois. Caballero will be hoping for some appearances in the cup competitions for Chelsea.

#17 Marcos Alonso (Left wing-back) - £50,000/week

Marcos Alonso has been one of Chelsea's most consistent players under Conte

One of the standout players in Conte's side last season, Spaniard Marcos Alonso is slightly underpaid considering today's wages. A potent threat while going forward and a solid presence while defending, Alonso will be hoping for a new contract and higher wages as soon as possible.

#16 Cezar Azpilicueta (Right centre-back) - £70,000/week

One of the most underrated footballers in the Premier League, Cezar Azpilicueta is arguably the best defender in the Premier League. Solid if not spectacular on the ball, Azpilicueta is in line for a huge pay hike in his new contract

#15 Michy Batshuayi (Striker) - £70,000/week

Expected to have a much greater role this season, Batshuayi will be hoping to make an impact and get selected for the Belgian national team, especially in this important World Cup year.

#14 Victor Moses (Right wing-back) - £75,000/week

The Nigerian wing-back had a resurrection of sorts last year under Antonio Conte. A fixture in the first team, Moses constant stamina, running and incisive play provided a valuable outlet for Chelsea.

#13 Antonio Rudiger (Centre-back) - £77,000/week

Antonio Rudiger has made a good start to his Chelsea career

One of Chelsea's biggest signings this summer, Antonio Rudiger is tasked with the onerous task of replacing club legend John Terry in the heart of defense. The German international has made a decent start to his Chelsea career and Antonio Conte will be hoping that he continues his good form.

#12 Gary Cahill (Centre-back) - £85,000/week

Gary Cahill is the new captain of Chelsea

One of Chelsea's longest-serving players, Gary Cahill has been a rock at the heart of defense for the Premier League champions. Already 31, Cahill's time at the Blues might be coming to an end soon.

#11 Pedro (Forward) - £100,000/week

Pedro will be looking to hit top form this season

An integral part of Antonio Conte's attacking line-up, Pedro with his trickery, excellent positioning and goalscoring skills has captured the imagination of the Chelsea fans and has become a firm fan favorite at Chelsea.

#10 Willian (Forward) - £110,000/week

One of Chelsea's best players in Jose Mourinho's doomed last season, Willian lost out on his place to Pedro last season. However, the Brazilian has been more involved this season and the tricky forward will be hoping to make a huge impact this season.

#9 N'golo Kante (Defensive midfielder) - £110,000/week

Kante had a smashing start to his Chelsea career

One of the only players to win back-to-back Premier League titles with two different clubs, Kante has arguably taken his game to new heights under Antonio Conte. Having added an extra dimension while going forward, Kante will be looking to continue his good form this season.

#8 Tiemoue Bakayoko (Defensive midfielder) - £110,000/week

One of Monaco's golden boys last season, Bakayoko is seen as the ideal long term replacement for Nemanja Matic. Strong on the ball and blessed with excellent positioning skills, Bakayoko will be looking to hone his game and continue his development under Conte/

#7 Thibaut Courtois (Goalkeeper) - £120,000/week

One of the best goalkeepers in world football at the moment, Courtois has been constantly linked with a move to Real Madrid. Tall, strong and blessed with excellent shot-stopping skills, Courtois will be looking to win another Premier League title this season.

#6 David Luiz (Centre-back) - £120,000/week

One of the best (if not the best) centre-backs on the ball, David Luiz has been in absolutely stunning form ever since he made his return to the Stamford Bridge. The Brazilian will be one of Conte's main men this season.

#5 Alvaro Morata (Striker) - £155,000/week

Alvaro Morata has been tasked with the job of being Chelsea's main goalscorer

Bought from Real Madrid, Alvaro Morata has quickly become a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge. The Spanish striker in the absence of Diego Costa has quickly become Chelsea's main man up top.

#4 Cesc Fabregas (Central Midfielder) - £156,000/week

One of the best midfielders in the Premier League era, Fabregas has had to endure some bench time under Antonio Conte. However, his quality has never been under question and the silky Spaniard is still capable of unlocking stubborn defences with a single pass.

#3 Diego Costa (Striker) - £185,000/week

How Chelsea miss Diego Costa! After getting into an ugly war of words with manager Antonio Conte, the former Spaniard has been left out in the cold and it looks more than likely that Costa's Chelsea career is over.

#2 Eden Hazard (Forward) - £200,000/week

Eden Hazard is undoubtedly Chelsea's star player

The Belgian wizard is one of the best players in world football at the moment and it is no surprise to see that he is among the highest paid players in the Premier League. Blessed with scintillating pace, astonishing dribbling skills and brilliant ball control, Hazard is undoubtedly the crown jewel of Antonio Conte's side.

The Belgian has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid and with Zidane reportedly a huge fan of the Chelsea star's talents, Hazard could be Madrid's next big galactico signing in the future.

#1 Antonio Conte (Manager) - £210,000/week

Antonio Conte's brilliant tactics masterminded Chelsea's incredible title triumph

The highest paid person in Chelsea football club is unsurprisingly Italian manager Antonio Conte. The legendary tactician oversaw Chelsea's incredible Premier League title triumph last season and although he has had a tough start this season, Conte will be confident of turning Chelsea's fortunes around.
