To what extent does the valuation of a collective estimated on the transfer market guarantee the final victory in the Champions League? We will have to wait until the last scheduled meeting on May 31, 2025, at the Allianz Arena of Bayern Munich (which will be devoid of its naming for the occasion), to find out.
But there is necessarily a correlation between the market weight of a team and its final aspirations in the competition. Real Madrid is an illustration of this. At 1.34 billion euros, its squad estimated by the Transfermarkt platform is the most expensive of the 36 clubs in this 2024-2025 edition of the C1.
Real and City ahead, French clubs play more modestly
Realize that it is valued at more than sixty times that of Slovan Bratislava in Slovakia, for the most modest of the entrants. And who follows Real in the published list? Manchester City. None other than the club that the winner in 2023. And another collective at more than 1,000 million euros.
French clubs are not in this rank, with the exception of Paris Saint-Germain, fourth at 969 million euros. AS Monaco is 18th (364 million euros), LOSC 24th (241 million euros) and Stade Brestois is 29th, at 107 million euros.
