The most successful Champions League and La Liga side were handed an embarrassment in the 2020-21 season under Zinedine Zidane's tutelage. Real Madrid finished trophyless for the first time since 2010.

The Los Blancos were fairly consistent in La Liga but lacked quality in crucial moments. They eventually fell short of league champions Atletico Madrid on the final day.

Carlo Ancelotti, who has now returned to the helm at the Santiago Bernabeu, is now tasked with the job of rekindling the La Liga giants' menacing form.

Real Madrid are in the running for a blockbuster move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe. They have only managed to bring in centre-back David Alaba on a free transfer from Bayern Munich in the current window so far.

Casemiro has emerged as the most valuable Real Madrid player in the squad after his two-year contract extension. The Brazilian is marked at €70 million. The club's top-scorer in the previous season, Karim Benzema, has been pegged at €25 million.


#2 Atletico Madrid - €744.90 million

Atletico Madrid have emerged as a force to be reckoned with in Spanish football since the turn of the decade. The Colchoneros won their eleventh La Liga title last season.

Diego Simeone's side set a club-record total of 50 points from the first 19 La liga games in the 2020-21 season to set the stage for a successful season.

The likes of Jan Oblak and Luis Suarez were crucial to Atletico's historic title-winning campaign. The lack of depth in the squad prompted Atletico to hit the transfer market in the current window and make some big purchases.

The La Liga champions have signed the likes of central midfielder Rodrigo De Paul and striker Matheus Cunha. Joao Felix and Marcos Llorente are the most valuable players in the current Atletico squad.

Meanwhile, 34-year-old Luis Suarez is currently valued at €15 million.


#1 FC Barcelona - €766.70 million

Barcelona are under an immense bit of financial strain from La Liga due to their exorbitant wage bill. Blaugrana have made some reckless signings over the years and thereby find themselves as the most valuable club in La Liga.

Ronald Koeman's side are in a transitional stage after the previous season. The Catalans only managed to win the Copa del Rey trophy after a disappointing La Liga and Champions League run.

The La Liga giants have brought in several top names on free transfers, namely Memphis Depay, Sergio Aguero and Eric Garcia. Emerson Royal has also joined Barcelona from Real Betis in the current window. They are also looking to offload players like Samuel Umtiti to cut down on their wages.

Dutch playmaker Frenkie de Jong sits at the top of the market value charts at Barcelona with a price tag of €90 million. Pedri and Marc Andre ter-Stegen are second and third on the list, with market values of €80 million and €60 million.
