5) Manchester United (€1.10bn)
No surprises here, with Manchester United investing huge amounts since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement, but with a lack of a real plan so far seeing them fall behind their rivals despite putting so many big names together.
4) PSG (€1.24bn)
What a decade it’s been for PSG, who stunned world football with their signings of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe last year as they hope to turn their Ligue 1 dominance into a real stab at conquering Europe as well.
3) Barcelona (€1.25bn)
Once full of home-grown talent, Barcelona are now just like pretty much any super-club as they’ve invested huge amounts in recent times on big names like Luis Suarez, Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele.
2) Chelsea (€1.31bn)
Not quite the transfer market force that they once were as others have caught up, but it’s still been a busy decade for Chelsea, who have been one of the most successful clubs in England and Europe in this period.
1) Manchester City (€1.47bn)
Not too surprising to see Manchester City come out on top here, with the club becoming one of the richest in the world since Sheikh Mansour’s takeover, landing numerous world class names to put together a stunning squad that strolled to the Premier League title last season – their third in six years.
