In this rating, we evaluate clubs’ budgets. The owners’ capitals are not necessarily being completely invested in the team. So, experts from Gaminator 3 analyse real financial aspects and see the current picture across the globe.
Juventus — $610 Million
After Cristiano Ronaldo left the club, it seems like the shake-up is still present with the playing style and economic aspects of the team. The ranking was higher the previous year and the performance used to be better. Some time will still pass for The Old Lady to find its ideal shape.
Despite this, Juventus remains the richest in Serie A by a decent margin. While chances for Scudetto are illusory, Massimiliano Allegri’s team still has enough strength after a poor start to the season.
Barcelona — $740 Million
Over the last few years, the budget of the almighty Blaugrana has significantly dropped. Among dozens of decline indicators, the loss of key players became the most impactful concerning the total price of the club.
Who left Barcelona in the last 5 years?
1. Neymar.
2. Luis Suarez.
3. Antoine Griezmann.
4. Lionel Messi.
5. Philippe Coutinho.
While in most cases, the club earned a little on selling these players, their departures damaged the reputation and brand. As a result, in 2022, they barely make it into the top 10 most expensive teams.
Manchester United — $785 Million
After obtaining Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane as well as returning Cristiano Ronaldo home, it seemed like the Red Devils would be on the top of the financial and performing charts.
However, fierce Premier League conditions as well as the senior age of the new captain turned out to be a major obstacle. Regardless, the brand is still strong. This season will be decisive in terms of the potential recovery of the team’s decay.
Real Madrid — $830 Million
After the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, there have not been insanely expensive players in the squad. Karim Benzema, yet one of the oldest, shows incredible performance, keeping the team in first place in the mid of season 2021/2022.
If Real manages to sign Kylian Mbappe this summer, their value will increase at least by $170 million. Moreover, it is said that in addition to the Frenchman, Erling Halland is also on their radar. If both transfers happen, the value of the squad will be unreachable for other teams.
Chelsea — $850 Million
It is complicated to talk about the team until summer 2022. Roman Abramovich has initiated the selling of the club. The current data shows solid financial stats, but things might change drastically in a few months.
The FA has already imposed sanctions on Chelsea, and a negative reputation can impact the team severely. While its true fans will still be loyal to the club, it seems like many changes are going to happen to the team soon.
Liverpool — $990 Million
The team has improved significantly after the UCL victory in 2019. The iconic trio at the front (Salah, Mane, Firmino) has been performing at the top capacity for the last few years. As a result, their value, as well as the club’s brand, has risen in popularity insanely.
Whether they are going to get to the top of the league in 2022 is still a question. There have been some minor disagreements between Sadio and Mo during the AFCON. It seems like Jurgen Klopp’s players want to keep the intrigue till the end.
Paris Saint-Germain — $993 Million
During the summer, PSG went crazy with free agents, bringing in some of the loudest football names on the planet:
● Gianluigi Donnarumma;
● Achraf Hakimi;
● Sergio Ramos;
● Georginio Wijnaldum;
● Lionel Messi.
Moreover, the club did not spend a single penny on transfers. A superb achievement improved the value of the team (that already had Mbappe and Neymar) significantly.
Manchester City — $1.05 Billion
Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, Ruben Diaz and the most recently bought Jack Grealish are just some of the players who have cost the club a fortune. All investments seem to be paying off for the leaders of the standings as of the middle of the season 2021/2022.
Young age, the combination of different nationalities, and decent performance seem to be the recipe for the most expensive squad in the world. Will it be enough to defend the title? Only time will tell.
