Man Utd lose top spot as most valuable clubs in Europe revealed

Manchester United have been replaced by Real Madrid as the 'most valuable' club in Europe.

The latest figures, based on the 2016-2017 and 2017-18 seasons, have been released by KPMG.

The 'enterprise value' takes into account popularity, profitability, broadcasting rights, stadium value and potential and is based on the figure on January 1 2019.

And Real, who won the Champions League in both of the two seasons, have leapfrogged United into top spot.

It is claimed the Spanish giants are worth around £2.91bn while United, who had led the way for the last three years, are valued at £2.83bn.

United's failure to reach the latter stages of the Champions League has seen them lose ground.

A further five Premier League clubs make the top 10 - Manchester City , Champions League finalists Liverpool and Tottenham , and Europa League finalists Chelsea and Arsenal .

City are in fifth, behind Bayern Munich and Barcelona , with a value of £2.2bn.

Juventus are the other non-English side to make the top 10, with West Ham United, Leicester City and Everton making the overall 32-team shortlist.

Celtic have also become the first ever Scottish club to make the prestigious list.

The author of the report, Andrea Sartori said: "At league level the English Premier league has confirmed its absolute dominance, having nine clubs in the top 32 and accounting for 43% of the total aggregate value."
