Premier League leaders Liverpool have the most valuable squad in the transfer market from Europe's top-five leagues, narrowly pipping rivals Manchester City.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds have enjoyed a remarkable season so far, having followed up on their Champions League heroics last season by taking the English top-flight by storm this campaign.
The Anfield giants, who currently hold a 25-point lead over nearest challengers City, need just two more wins from their remaining nine games to clinch their first league title in 30 years.
And so, it is perhaps no surprise that their star-studded squad has an aggregated value of 1.4bn euros (£1.27bn), according to research group CIES Football Observatory.
The Champions League holders sit above fellow Premier League side Manchester City (£1.24bn) in second and Chelsea in fifth, while Manchester United and Tottenham are also in the top 10.
Barcelona make up the top three, sitting just ahead of their Spanish rivals Real Madrid,
Elsewhere, Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe, 21, has highest transfer value at more than £227m.
Meanwhile, Virgil Van Dijk has admitted he fears being forced to lift Liverpool's first Premier League crown in an empty stadium as a result of the ongoing restrictions imposed by the coronavirus crisis.
All top-flight matches have been postponed until at least next month and the Premier League is set to meet on Thursday to discuss potential next steps.
Liverpool are currently 25 points ahead of second-placed Manchester City in the table and Van Dijk told several national newspapers: "If we won it in an empty stadium and the fans weren't there, I'd be gutted for them.
"Obviously, if there are no fans at Anfield, then it will be a bit of a blow - no one wants to play games without the fans.
"Until a decision is made on how we go on from here, then we just have to deal with it. But when it happens, we are still bringing the title to our fans, definitely."
