Top 5 most valuable squads in the world 2024Â
5. Bayern Munich – €894.5 million
The Bavarians won the Bundesliga in 22/23 by the skin of their teeth, and are among the most valuable squads in the world right now. Their top players include Jamal Musiala, Joshua Kimmich, Matthijs De Ligt, Alphonso Davies and Leon Goretzka.
They have also signed Harry Kane which saw their squad value rise further. Bayern are the most successful club in Germany and have had a history of elite players. And that is continuing even today with their impressive squad.
4. Real Madrid – €991 million
Following the addition of Jude Bellingham and Arda Güler to an already solid young midfield of Fede Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni, Real Madrid are close to the billion Euro mark. The departure of Eden Hazard, Marco Asensio and Karim Benzema has played a part in reducing the overall value. But, with Endrick joining them, it could soon rise significantly.Â
They won the Copa del Rey this past season and are in a comfortable position in all competitions this season with an interesting squad, although without a striker apart from Joselu.
3. Paris Saint-Germain – €1.03 billion
PSG saw a reduction in squad value over the remainder of the year. They lost Lionel Messi to Inter Miami. While the arrivals of Manuel Ugarte, Marco Asensio and Milan Skriniar will reinforce the squad, they probably won’t be able to maintain the same amount of value on the market.Â
However, they remain the biggest club in France in spite of missing out on Champions League success for years.
2. Manchester City – €1.19 billion
The reigning treble winners are in second place in terms of the highest squad value. The likes of Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish and Ruben Dias make up their most valuable players on the back of a historic season.
Pep Guardiola has finally earned his UCL title, after managing to claim the Premier League and the FA Cup as well. However, the squad saw veterans like Ilkay Gundogan leaving the club.
1. Arsenal – €1.21 billion
Mikel Arteta’s young squad is the most valuable in the entire world right now, in spite of not being able to get their hands on silverware recently. The Gunners missed out on the Premier League title this past year, but returned to the Champions League. And this season, they are once again a strong contender for the title alongside City and Liverpool.
The arrivals of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber have only further raised the squad’s value on the transfer market. The turnaround from Edu and Mikel Arteta’s work together has been remarkable, with the Gunners now a top team in Europe again.
