Real Madrid and Manchester United Suffer Huge Losses: The Clubs That Dropped Most in Market Value Last Season
The 2025/26 season has come to a close for European clubs, with the Champions League final marking the end of the campaign. Attention now shifts to the World Cup, which is being hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Following the World Cup final on July 19th, the focus will return to club football ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Last season saw PSG reclaim the Champions League title, defeating Arsenal on penalties, while Arsenal won the Premier League. Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Bayern Munich also claimed their respective league titles.
An analysis of the top five leagues from July 2025 to July 2026 reveals that Chelsea's squad experienced the largest drop in market value, decreasing by €207m to €1.11 billion. The Blues had a disappointing season, missing out on European qualification, with player valuations such as Cole Palmer's dropping by €30m. Real Madrid ranks second, with their squad value decreasing by €154m, largely due to significant drops in the valuations of Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo. Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, and Athletic Club also feature in the top five, with no Ligue 1 or Bundesliga clubs making the top 10 list.
