Sporting feature in world ranking thanks to... most valuable players | OneFootball

A new study by CIES – Football Observatory released this Wednesday analyzed the clubs with the most valuable players, taking into account all athletes under contract, including those on loan. At the top of the list is Chelsea, with an impressive total value of 1.732 billion euros.

In this list appears Sporting, which is ahead of Roma, Stuttgart, Sunderland, and PSV. The lions occupy the 31st place among 35 clubs analyzed by the entity, with a total market value estimated at 474 million euros.

The most valuable player in the Alvalade Club's squad is Luis Suárez, valued at 45.5 million euros, with each player of the Alvalade Club having an average value of 12.2 million. The Colombian forward was a topic of conversation by the Bodø/Glimt coach.

Despite the position, the lions appear ahead of well-known European football clubs, a fact that helps to understand the current weight of the green and white squad in the international context, which has evolved in recent years and today is the most valuable Portuguese squad, according to Transfermarkt.

Sporting returns to the field this Wednesday, March 11, against Bodø/Glimt. The match, counting for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, against the Norwegian team, will be played at 20:00, at Aspmyra Arena.
