Top 5 Biggest Football Clubs in the World 5. Arsenal – Value: $1.33bn (£780m) - We kick off with Arsenal who, according to Forbes, are the fifth most valuable football team in the world. The 2013/14 season was one of mixed fortunes for the Gunners, but ended in glory as they captured the FA Cup. Another top four finish means the club have reached the Champions League for the 16th consecutive season, and their value is surely going to increase as Premier League television money increases and the club embark on a new kit deal with Puma 4. Bayern Munich – Value: $1.85bn (£1.08bn) Following their Champions League success of 2013, Bayern Munich recorded revenue figures of $561m (£330m) according to Forbes. That figure has no doubt increased over the past season, with Bayern dominating domestically once again, and reaching the latter stages of the Champions League 3. Manchester United – Value: $2.81bn (£1.64bn) - The Red Devils may have endured a difficult season on the pitch in 2013/14, but off it, the club continue to attract new sponsors and partners, including a hugely lucrative kit deal with Adidas worth in the region of £750m. This season will also see United’s shirt deal with American motoring giants Chevrolet begin, while the club will also benefit from increased television revenue. 2. Barcelona – Value: $3.2bn (£1.87bn) – Forbes rank the Catalan giants as the world’s second most valuable football team. Much like Man United, despite a somewhat disappointing season on the pitch, Barcelona’s value continues to skyrocket, especially in light of news that the club’s Camp Nou stadium will be increased to 105,000 as part of a £450m renovation plan 1. Real Madrid – Value: $3.44bn (£2bn) Forbes rank Real Madrid as the world’s most valuable football team, valuing them at around £2bn. That figure will almost certainly increase with Los Blancos winning their tenth European crown last season and their continued pursuit of the world’s finest talent, including Colombian man of the moment James Rodriguez Wozonzwa umwe aakutaura kuti yeeeh Chelsea yeeh Liverpool yeeeh Man City woshaya kuti zvave zve futsal here kana kuti zvebhora!
