Real Madrid lead global club valuations, PSG up to fifth | OneFootball

Real Madrid again head the global football club valuation rankings, priced at nine point five billion dollars, eight point one billion euros.

According to L'Équipe, Forbes' 2026 list places Barcelona second on six point four billion euros, with Manchester United third at six point one billion euros. The valuations reflect enterprise value, equity and net debt included, based on recent transactions, revenues and league specific economic projections.

Paris Saint-Germain climb to fifth worldwide at four point nine billion euros, up 26% year on year, behind Liverpool and just ahead of Bayern Munich. They are the only Ligue 1 side in the top 30.

Despite two less dominant seasons, Real generated record revenue of one point two six five billion dollars, one point one billion euros, in 2024-2025.

The Premier League supplies 11 clubs to the top 30. MLS contributes seven franchises, ahead of Serie A with four, the Bundesliga with three, La Liga with three, and both Ligue 1 and the Primeira Liga with one each.

The report highlights MLS's more secure model than European football, with no relegation seen as reducing risk for investors. On average, MLS franchises are valued at eight point nine times revenue, higher than European multiples.

Atlético de Madrid deliver one of the biggest gains, now 11th on two point five billion euros, up 74%. The rise follows Apollo Sports Capital's takeover in March, used as a direct benchmark for the new valuation.
