The rest of the top five is made up of Chelsea (£796m), admittedly backed by one of football's biggest sides, and Paris Saint-Germain (£757m), who boast about the most expensive player in the world - Kylian Mbappe, valued at 154 million pounds.

Surprisingly, despite their world status, Real Madrid are sixth on the list (£746m) while Barcelona (£685.6m) languish in ninth. This comes despite the fact that the former have Vinicius Jr, valued at £128m, in their ranks and the latter have Pedri and Gavi in ​​midfield, valued at £85m and £77m respectively. 

Meanwhile, Manchester United have the seventh most valuable squad (£619m), ahead of rivals Liverpool in eighth place (£690m).
