Recently, the famous American media CNBC released an interesting news, that is, after combining all the factors, it selected the most valuable football club rankings today, and the fans are undoubtedly concerned about which teams entered the top five. Unexpectedly, among the top five, both the Bundesliga teams and Serie A teams failed to get the chance to be on the list. There are three teams directly entering the top five in the Premier League, which shows that the commercial value of the Premier League is indeed quite large. Let’s take a look at who are the top five teams!

Fifth place: Manchester City

Market value: US$5.2 billion

The fifth place is Manchester City. They were once unknown in the Premier League, but since the 2009-10 season, after the Etihad consortium took over, Manchester City has received huge financial support, and since then they have embarked on the road of revival. In terms of players, they have trained superstars such as Aguero, Yaya Toure, De Bruyne, and Gundogan. In terms of honor, in the past 10 years, they have almost swept across all fronts in Britain, winning 8 Premier League championships, 3 FA Cup championships, 8 League Cup championships and 3 Community Shield championships. At their peak, they were almost the final boss of the Premier League. In the Champions League, they are regular visitors to the Champions League semi-finals, and successfully completed a breakthrough in the 22-23 season, won the first Champions League trophy in team history, and won the European Super Cup and Club World Cup one after another. Therefore, Manchester City's value has been rising in recent years, and now it has reached US$5.2 billion, successfully reaching the fifth place in the world.

4th place: Liverpool

Market value: US$5.4 billion

Livepool ranks fourth. Although Liverpool has not had many championships due to the existence of Manchester City over the years, this does not prevent them from becoming one of England's greatest clubs. Over the past few years, Klopp's arrival has helped the giant team complete its revival. This season, after Dutch coach Slott took over, they won the Premier League again after five years of separation. This time, their number of championships in the top league in England also reached 20. While tied their arch rival Manchester United, they had 6 Champions League trophys, and they are currently stably under the Red Devils. It is precisely because of this that Liverpool's market value has further risen this season. Not long ago, they signed a sponsorship contract of 70 million pounds with Adidas. In addition, they also have cooperative relationships with Standard Chartered Bank, Expedia, Google and other companies. Under the control of a relatively stingy atmosphere, the market value is still as high as US$5.4 billion. This is a very impressive performance. Liverpool's performance in recent years is worthy of recognition.

Third place: Barcelona

Market value: US$5.65 billion

And Barcelona is the third place. Although they regretted losing to Inter Milan not long ago and failed to return to the stage of the Champions League final, it is undeniable that their progress this season. After Flick became the team's new head coach, the La Liga giants ushered in qualitative improvements again, and helped the team win the championship title in the Spanish Super Cup, the Copa del Rey and other events. And this time, they are only a short distance from the Champions League championship, and they are still in the lead at the end of the league, so Barcelona can be said to have completed the reconstruction. Since the era of Ronaldo and Messi, Barcelona has been one of the most valuable clubs. They and Nike just renewed their contract last year. The two sides will cooperate for 14 years and provide an average of 127 million euros in sponsorship per year. In addition, companies such as Lotte Group, Emirates Airlines, and Spotify have always been their long-term partners. And don’t forget that they also have the best youth training camp in Europe, and their talents have always been in a state of continuous transmission, helping the team leader to flourish. Therefore, overall, their market value has also reached US$5.65 billion, and this number may continue to rise in the future.

Second place: Manchester United

State value: US$6 billion

Although Manchester United has been in a state of decline this season, and once reached the point where they want to relegate, as one of England's greatest clubs, their foundation is still there, so there is still hope of returning to the peak in the future. Although he is a little down and out, Manchester United is still the most valuable club in the Premier League, which is inseparable from Sir Ferguson's painstaking management back then. With 20 top league titles and 3 Champions League trophys, such a strong team heritage has helped them to have a large number of loyal fans even though they have not reached the top of the Premier League in the past 12 years. In terms of jersey sponsorship, they signed a 7-year, £410 million contract with Chevrolet that set a record, which shows their terrifying market value. In addition, according to data, the total amount of sponsorship they received in the 23-24 season reached 340 million pounds, which is an existence that no other team can match. Moreover, this is the amount of sponsorship they have received when Manchester United has been sluggish in recent years. Once their record can recover, the market value in the future will increase again.

First place: Real Madrid

Market value: US$6.7 billion

, and the first place is Real Madrid. As the greatest football team recognized in the 20th century, Real Madrid's heritage and honor are incomparable to other teams. Looking back at their team history, there are 15 big-ear cups alone. How terrifying is this? You should know that Milan, who was closest to them back then, has been stagnant after winning the 7th Champions League in team history in 2007, and has gradually been widened by Real Madrid. In addition to the Champions League, their honors are countless, which is the biggest reason why their market value can reach US$6.7 billion, far ahead of Manchester United in second place. So far, their cooperative companies and sponsored brands are also the largest in the world. In terms of commercial revenue alone, their revenue reached a terrifying £340 million last year. Moreover, the superstar policy of Lafayette has continuously increased their exposure. In recent years, the superstars such as Mbappe and Bellingham have visited the Bernabeu one after another, greatly promoting the team's future development. Therefore, as long as you maintain your current state and performance, Real Madrid will most likely continue to hold the top spot in the value list.
