Most valuable football clubs in the world right now

Manchester City (€2.160b)

Manchester City clinched the league title this season.

Premier League champions clinched a domestic double this season, displaying an electrifying style of play under manager Pep Guardiola. That certainly is an improvement in their success on the pitch, considering the fact that they managed to win only 1 trophy in the past 2 seasons.

The financial backing of Sheikh Mansour has been the most crucial reason behind their rise on the footballing stage. Manchester City have been valued at €2.160 billion in accordance with KPMG's report. In comparison to 2017, they have increased their EV by 9%.

The Citizens have recorded the second-highest EV growth over a time span of two years(33%). Also, having the third-highest valuable squad(€793m) has helped them extend their lead over Arsenal on the list.

Manchester City's social media statistics are as follows:

Facebook - 33.4 million

Twitter - 10.8 million

Instagram - 6.6 million

Manchester City's total fan base on the Internet is 50.8 million. The club's growth on social media is down to two factors: winning the Premier League in 2017-18 and merging their men's and women's Facebook pages, which added 1.5 million followers overnight.

They have shown the highest increase in the number of followers, accounting for 29% on all platforms in relation to the previous year. They have gained 11.5 million new followers since 2017. But in spite of showing a considerable increase in the popularity department, they still have a lot of room for improvement.
