Transfermarkt’s market values are renowned across the world and they’ve been cited by major clubs, players and almost every notable media organisation. Transfermarkt first established market values in 2004 and they provide an indication of how much a player is worth on the open market. Numerous factors are considered with insight from our experts included and players’ valuations are updated several times every year - you can read more about them below!
The total value of clubs’ squads can be ascertained by totalling all their players and this provides fascinating insight on the pecking order in world football. Transfermarkt traditionally implements four market update windows per year for all major leagues and theLigue 1 changes signalled the end of the major leagues being changed. Therefore, we’ve now analysed which clubs have the most valuable squads in the world after all the major leagues were updated.
The 100 most valuable clubs in the world
Real Madrid have the most valuable squad in the world at €1.34 billion, with Los Blancos having four players valued at over €100m - Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and Federico Valverde. Manchester City possess the second most valuable squad with their overall valuation increasing this year after the January additions of Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo. Arsenal sit third at €1.23b with Mikel Arteta's men destined to end their trophy drought this season - you can view the top 100 most valuable teams below.
The English top-flight is unquestionably the most valuable division in the world at €12.58b but Chelsea dropped out of the top five after the March update, replaced by Barcelona in fifth. Seven clubs have squads valued at over €1b with Liverpool and Barcelona joining the top five. Bayern Munich comfortably have the most valuable squad in the Bundesliga at €967m with Inter Milan leading from Serie A at €670m. The financial disparity between Premier League clubs and other leagues is evidenced by 12 English clubs featuring in the top twenty - Manchester United just make the top ten. Interestingly, Sporting CP (€465m) are the most valuable team outside of the top five leagues in 24th, while Galatasaray rank 11 places ahead of arch rivals Fenerbahce in 42rd.
