FSG gains £300 million as Liverpool consolidates their lead over Man City
Over the previous 12 months, Liverpool’s worth increased by £330 million. This week, the US sports business website Sportico released its annual value assessment on the largest football teams worldwide. The Reds came in fourth place globally, after Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester United. Liverpool was valued at £5.11 billion (£4.1 billion), an increase of 8.8% from the previous year. Even so, considering Manchester United’s lack of competitive success over the previous ten years, that amount was approximately £860 million less than what the Old Trafford team was thought to be worth.
Manchester City, who came in sixth place on the Premier League list and had the greatest revenue of all 50 clubs, also made an appearance in the top 10. The team’s valuation was $4.75 billion (£3.8 billion), despite winning three titles the previous year. Tottenham Hotspur (£2.79bn), Chelsea (£2.78bn), and Arsenal (£3.13bn) were in eighth, ninth, and tenth place, respectively.
Sportico’s approach was predicated on a number of variables, such as past sales, market size, saturation, and interest from potential owners; brand strength; historical and current on-field performance; facility lease terms; debt load and other commitments; and anticipated future team and league economics. Juventus has experienced a notable decline of £1.36 billion, placing them outside the top 10, highlighting the disparity in wealth between the top 10 teams and the remainder.
