Most valuable squads in world football

2. Barcelona

Market value: £510m

Average age: 27.1 years

Any team that possesses the likes of Neymar, Iniesta, Fabregas and Busquets are sure to be a valuable bunch of players. To that mix, when you add Lionel Messi, the most valuable player in the world, then you have arguably the most valuable squad. But, unfortunately for Barcelona, even Lionel Messi can’t help them from coming second in this list.

With a market value of over half a billion pounds, they are without a doubt, one of the most valuable clubs in the world. But when you consider the fact that most of them were youth-team products, then you’ll see that they are one of the most self-sufficient squads in the world.

Most expensive buy: Neymar (£50 m)

Most Valuable Player: Lionel Messi (£105m)
