5 most valuable teams in world football right now (2022)

#3 Chelsea - €879 million

Chelsea v Brighton & Hove Albion - Premier League

Due to their struggles in the first half of the 2020-21 season, people tend to forget that Chelsea had just splashed roughly €250 million in the transfer window prior. That's right. They recruited heavily in the summer of 2020 and it came as no surprise because the Blues have a reputation for being big spenders.

Thomas Tuchel is in charge of a very talented squad. It is quite deep and replete with several top players battling for a starting berth. The depth of their squad definitely helped propel Chelsea to Champions League glory last season.

They signed Romelu Lukaku this past summer for €115 million. There are plenty of young players in this Chelsea side whose market valuations are quite high. Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Reece James, Timo Werner, Mateo Kovacic, N'Golo Kante and Jorginho are a few of them.

#2 Paris Saint-Germain - €916 million

Paris Saint-Germain v Manchester City: Group A - UEFA Champions League

One would think Paris Saint-Germain would have had major issues with their squad heading into the summer of 2021 if they looked at the kind of personnel they roped in subsequently. PSG already had one of the most talented squads in all of Europe.

They added Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Georginio Wijnaldum to it in the summer.

Neymar Jr., Kylian Mbappe, Marco Verratti, Angel Di Maria, Marquinhos and Mauro Icardi were all part of the side already. The latest additions have made PSG's squad the second most valuable in all of Europe. Their combined valuation stands at €916 million.

#1 Manchester City - €992 million

Brentford v Manchester City - Premier League

Pep Guardiola is one of the best managers in the world. The Spaniard is a wonderful coach and his Manchester City side play some swashbuckling football. They are one of the most dominant sides in Europe right now.

Guardiola's side is filled to the brim with technically proficient players. They are excellent with the ball at their feet and their game intelligence and awareness are quite incredible as well.

Guardiola is also very well backed in the transfer market and why wouldn't he be? His team have won the Premier League title in three of the last four Premier League seasons.

Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, Joao Cancelo, Rodri and Gabriel Jesus are some of their most valuable players. The Manchester City squad is valued at a whopping €992 million.
