Most valuable football clubs in the world right now

Liverpool (€1.580b)

Salah, Mane and Firmino have had an unforgettable season

Liverpool recently finished runners-up in the UEFA Champions League 2017/18. However, the Merseysiders have fared pretty well in the financial department, overtaking the mighty Juventus in spite of a poor record on the pitch. A major part of their place on this list is down to the improved broadcasting rights in the Premier League.

With a value of €1.580 billion, the Reds are the eighth most valuable club in world football. They have shown an impressive increase of 19% in their Enterprise Value(EV). We will definitely witness an increase in the club's financial power when KPMG releases a new report next year, thanks to their exhilarating Champions League journey this season.

It is quite clearly visible that the club's failure in winning trophies has barred them from attaining a higher place on this list.

Liverpool's social media figures are as follows:

Facebook - 31 million

Twitter - 11.8 million

Instagram - 6.3 million

The total social media fan-following of Liverpool is 49.1 million. Like Juventus, they too have shown a 12% increase in the numbers of followers on the Internet, amassing 5,3 million unique followers this year.
