Real Madrid the most valuable club in the world – first to cross €6 billion valuation | OneFootball

Real Madrid are almost synonymous with football, and it is clear that their brand is the biggest there is in the sport.

The allure of playing for the Merengues is simply unparalleled and the aura they hold among fans is something special.

A combination of all these factors makes it a highly marketable club whose economic return is massive.

The Merengues have been the most valuable club in the world for a while now, but that does not stop them from further improving their situation in the slightest. AS bring to light the latest update on Real Madrid’s economic situation.

Growing to new heights

As relayed by the Spanish outlet, Real Madrid are again the most valuable club in the world according to the Annual Football Benchmark with a valuation of over €6 billion.

The report also furthers that Los Blancos are now the first club in history to cross the €6 billion mark as they have now hit €6.278 billion as per the latest figures.

The increase from last year is a staggering 23% for Los Blancos, something that is massive when put into perspective of Manchester City and Manchester United who grew by three and four percent respectively and are second and third respectively.

Real Madrid’s promising growth is down to a plethora of factors, the biggest being the renovated Santiago Bernabeu stadium which has practically doubled the income on match days for the club. The club made over €1 billion in operating revenue.

With bigger names and a better squad this time around, Real Madrid will look to do justice next season and progress deep, winning all competitions they step into.

Before that, however, they are focused on becoming the first club to win the FIFA Club World Cup.
