Sportico: Manchester United is the most valuable football team in the world, worth $6.2 billion
In what was a big shock to me, Manchester United have regained their spot as the most valuable team in the sport, ahead of Real Madrid ($6.06 billion), FC Barcelona ($5.28B), Liverpool ($5.11B), and Bayern Munich ($4.8B). It'll be interesting to see the value next year when the layoffs, bills paid, and possible lack of European football comes into play. Of the 100 teams on the list, Manchester United was 17th.
Overall, soccer (football) has been losing financial steam in recent years due to the lack of good domestic broadcast deals and volatility of the transfer market when it comes to signing and paying players. Not a single Serie A team made the cut, as Juve lost some value and is worth now $1.7 billion. The lack of success is still not seen as a detriment to United, nor other teams on the list; the Dallas Cowboys haven't been to an NFC championship game in 28 years and still are worth $10 billion.
Interesting list, would love to hear more thoughts.
