The most valuable football squads in 2025: seven clubs now worth over 1bn as Real Madrid stay top
"The balance of power in European football has shifted once again after a record-breaking summer transfer window, with seven clubs now boasting squads valued at more than €1 billion. The surge marks a dramatic rise from just three sides surpassing that threshold last year, underlining how spending and on-pitch success continue to reshape the financial hierarchy of the sport. According to Sportingpedia's latest analysis, Real Madrid remain the world's most valuable squad at €1.4 billion,"
"English clubs continue to dominate the valuations. Arsenal's meteoric rise has seen their squad value jump €160 million to €1.33 billion, thanks to a second-place league finish and a Champions League semi-final run. The Gunners were among the summer's biggest spenders, investing nearly €294 million. Manchester City, while still worth €1.22 billion, saw their squad value dip €40 million after a disappointing Champions League campaign."
Seven clubs now have squads valued at more than €1 billion following a record summer transfer window, up from three last year. Real Madrid remain the world's most valuable squad at €1.4 billion, having spent €167.5 million on new signings and recouped €2 million. Arsenal's value climbed €160 million to €1.33 billion after strong domestic and European performances, with nearly €294 million invested. Manchester City's value fell €40 million to €1.22 billion.
