KPMG’s 5th annual club valuation report ranks the 32 most prominent European football clubs based on their Enterprise Value (EV) at 1 Jan 2020. This year’s report reveals that #RealMadrid and #ManchesterUnited maintained the 1st and 2nd positions, respectively, while #FCBarcelona
have leapfrogged #Bayern and are now in 3rd position. Further major changes in the TOP10 this year include CL title holders #Liverpool advancing two spots to reach the 5th position, and #Arsenal dropping two spots again to land in the 10th position, down five spots in the ranking
since first edition of the report in & #39;16. For the first time in analysis, there is no Italian club among these elites, as #Juve have dropped out of the TOP10, while #PSG have advanced two spots to land in the 9th position, thus re-joining the elite 10 for the first time since & #39;16
The three most valuable clubs ( #Real, #ManUtd, #Barca) in the #KPMG ranking are worth over €10 billion. The overall EV of the 32 clubs has increased for the fourth consecutive year: the aggregate EV of these clubs has grown by 51% since 2016 #SportBusiness
#Liverpool have grown the most in absolute value (€1,385m) during the same timeframe. #PSG and #LFC have recorded the largest increase in percentage terms, respectively 45% and 27%. Two London clubs have recorded the biggest declines in TOP10: #Arsenal (-8%) and #Chelsea (-0,4%)
#ACMilan are the only club in KPMG 5-year analysis that suffered a decrease in EV from 2016 to 2020, showing a 3% drop. On club level, #OlympiqueLyonnais have seen their EV grow the most in these years (+193%), followed by #Tottenham (+158%) and #Inter (+146%) #SportBusiness
The Rossoneri have been suffering in terms of sporting results and revenue generation, both factors resulting in profitability issues. A qualification to the UCL in the forthcoming seasons would be pivotal toward stopping this negative trends
#Arsenal show the second lowest 4-year growth (+11%). Interestingly, despite their podium spots by absolute EV, we find #MUFC (+15%) and #FCBarcelona (+16%) among the bottom 5 according to 4-year EV growth in relative terms
