According to the latest information, Arsenal has surpassed a squad value of €1 billion (£852.8m), making them only the second club in world football to achieve this milestone.
Following an impressive 2022/23 campaign, where Mikel Arteta’s side finished second in the Premier League, the Gunners have been steadily climbing up the rankings. Their return to the Champions League has now placed them among an elite group of teams with a value exceeding €1 billion (€1.09bn to be precise), as reported by Transfermarkt.
A significant contributing factor to this achievement is the value of their top-18 players, amounting to €895 million. Additionally, the average market value of their players is estimated to be €34.17 million.
With Arsenal’s ongoing summer spending spree, these figures are likely to increase further. Already, the club has secured the signing of Kai Havertz from Chelsea for £62 million. Furthermore, an agreement has been reached to sign West Ham captain Declan Rice for a fee of £105 million, with an official announcement expected soon.
Furthermore, The Athletic’s David Ornstein has revealed that Arsenal has reached a full agreement with Ajax to acquire Jurrien Timber in a €40 million deal, which includes €5 million in bonuses.
Manchester City, fresh off their treble win, remains the only team with a higher value in the world, boasting a total worth of €1.19 billion. Real Madrid follows in the third position with a value of €975.50 million, while Chelsea takes the fourth spot after investing over £600 million since the arrival of Todd Boehly.
