Football’s most prized possessions.

Check-In to Chelsea v Man United

50. Xavi (Barcelona)

Value: £26.5m

Spanish pass-master would presumably be worth far more but for his age.

49. Pepe (Real Madrid)

Value: £26.5m

Bernabeu defender has been in top form over the past twelve months. Must be one of the scariest centre-backs on planet earth.

48. Dani Alves (Barcelona)

Value: £26.5m

Stylish attacking full-back has served Barcelona well over the past four years.

47. Ezequiel Lavezzi (PSG)

Value: £26.5m

Argentine has taken all that well to life in Paris but has time to make his mark.

46. Javier Mascherano (Barcelona)

Value: £26.5m

Tough tackling former Liverpool man has been a terrific acquisition, able to fill in at centre-back and still a terrier in the midfield.
