Forbes have released a list of the top 20 most valuable football clubs in the world . Champions League winners Real Madrid are the most valuable at £2.13bn followed by rivals Barcelona at £2.07bn . Former EPL champions Manchester United are highest ranked Premier League side at £2.03bn .Also note that there are 8 English clubs in the list of 20 and 5 in the top 8 . See full list below...



Real Madrid have kept their place at the top of the Forbes’ list of the most valuable football teams in the world – despite a five per cent decrease in their value.

The club have led the rankings since displacing Manchester United in 2013 and with a value of €2.9 billion are once again at the summit ahead of arch rivals Barcelona (€2.8bn).

The reigning European champions’ total revenue of
€658 million is the highest of any sports team on the
planet.

Eight Premier League teams feature in the top 20
of Forbes’ list, which is put together by using equity and net debt based on current stadium deals, pre-tax operating income and player trading.

United, whose operating income of €186 million dwarfs that of any other club, are third on the list with a value of €2.7bn. Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are also in the top 10.

The value of Premier League teams seems likely to only increase thanks to a new domestic TV deal that pays an average of €2.3bn annually for three years starting from the 2016-17 season.

Forbes says that when the Premier League’s international rights are finalised at the end of the year, its total media rights will surpa$$ €3.5bn – second only to the NFL’s national rights (€4.4bn).

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are fourth on the list, with Serie A duo Juventus and Milan – who suffered a 10 per cent drop in value – rounding off the top 10.

The top 20 teams are worth an average of €1.02bn,
which represents an 11 per cent increase from last year.
