Real Madrid top the ranking of the most valuable squads in European football, with an estimated value of €1.463 billion.
The Spanish giants sit ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City, consolidating their position as the most valuable sporting asset in terms of market talent.
The ranking highlights the growing importance of sporting management and recruitment policy in team valuations.
Arsenal occupy second place with a squad valued at €1.433 billion, while Manchester City complete the podium at €1.348 billion.
Both clubs have benefited from stable sporting projects and significant investment in young players with strong potential for appreciation.
Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea round out the top five, each with squad valuations above €1.29 billion.
FC Barcelona rank sixth, with a squad value of €1.22 billion, in the context of a gradual financial adjustment.
They are followed by Liverpool and Bayern Munich, two European heavyweights whose squads are valued slightly above €1 billion.
Tottenham complete the group of nine clubs with squads worth more than €1 billion.
Manchester United sit in tenth place, with a valuation of €791 million, marking a notable drop compared to the teams above.
From that point on, figures level off, although they still reflect a high competitive standard.
Inter Milan and Newcastle lead this second tier, both close to €700 million.
Juventus and Atlético de Madrid remain in mid-table positions, with squad valuations of €659 million and €657 million, respectively.
Nottingham Forest and Brighton underline the growing strength of the Premier League by placing several clubs outside the traditional “big six” in the top twenty.
Aston Villa and Borussia Dortmund also feature in this segment of the ranking.
The list is completed by AC Milan and Napoli, whose squads are valued at around €500 million.
Overall, the ranking illustrates the concentration of value in Europe’s major leagues, particularly the Premier League and LaLiga.
It also highlights the economic gap between the elite and the rest of professional football, even among clubs that regularly compete in European competitions.
