Transfermarkt’s market values are renowned across the world and they’ve been cited by major clubs, players and almost every notable media organisation. Transfermarkt first established market values in 2004 and they provide an indication of how much a player is worth on the open market. Numerous factors are considered with insight from our experts included and players’ valuations are updated several times every year - you can read more about them below!

The total value of clubs’ squads can be ascertained by totalling all their players and this provides fascinating insight on the pecking order in world football. Transfermarkt traditionally implements four market update windows per year for all major leagues and theLigue 1 changes signalled the end of the major leagues being changed. Therefore, we’ve now analysed which clubs have the most valuable squads in the world after all the major leagues were updated.

Bayern Munich comfortably have the most valuable squad in the Bundesliga at €967m with Inter Milan leading from Serie A at €670m.
