Real Madrid again world’s most valuable club

Thirteen-time European champions, Real Madrid have held on to their record of being the most valuable football club in the world for the second year in a row, after increasing their value by eight percent in 2019.

Friday’s edition of Dario AS Los Blancos reports that Los Blancos now have a value of €3,47 billion. The valuation was provided by global auditing firm KPMG after the firm reviewed financial statements from the world’s top clubs from 2017 to 2019.

Barcelona – whose value is measured at €3,19 billion – are third on the list behind Manchester United, with the valuation of the English club standing at €3,34 billion.

There is a significant drop to the next most valuable Spanish club on the list – Atletico de Madrid rank 13th globally with a value of €1,19 billion while Valencia are the only other La Liga club in the top 32 listing, with their €408m valuation placing them in 25th position.

The top three are well established as the sport’s most valuable clubs ahead of German giants Bayern Munich, with five more English clubs among the top 10, with Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain usually fighting to complete the rankings.
