Trending
Guangzhou Evergrande is the first non-Asian club to make it to the top ten list. The club represents China's growing influence in the world of football. It is also the most valuable Chinese club and has the second most valuable team in the Chinese Super League.
Owned by the Evergrande and Alibaba groups, the club's stellar ranking is a result of the monumental investment potential of owners (€1050 million), the decisive and the most vital factor that contributes to this study.
The investment potential, as mentioned before, is the ability of the owner to inject cash in the overall development of the club, and the Chinese club has notched the best figures in that department.
The net worth of their owners is €32 billion, the best amongst the clubs on the list.They have the lowest squad value worth just €46 million! However, in spite of their shortcomings, Jack Ma and Co. have made it sure that the club provides stiff competition to the European giants in finances.
