Most valuable squads in world football

4. Manchester City

Market value: £415m

Average age: 27.5 years

Manchester City are now in possession of one of the most creative squads in world football at the moment and that has only been possible, thanks to the millions they have spent over the last five years. Ever since Abu Dhabhi United Group took control, City have transformed from being a mediocre mid-table side to one that is now challenging for the title every season.

Over the last few years, given the amount of money, that was spent by the club, it should come as no surprise to anybody that they are in possession of the most valuable squad in the league, not just in terms of talent but also in terms of value as well.

Most expensive buy: Sergio Aguero (£38 m)

Most Valuable Player: David Silva (£35m)
