PSG, only French representative, of the KPMG ranking

This allows the capital club to place itself in sixth place – with 1022 million euros -, of the top 10 most expensive teams on the transfer window, revealed by Football Benchmark. Kylian Mbappé is the player with the highest market value. The 24-year-old striker is estimated at 210 million euros. He alone represents more than a fifth of the value of the whole team.

A top 10 dominated by the Premier League
This classification made by Football Benchmark is largely dominated by the Premier League, the most powerful championship in the world where clubs do not hesitate to invest massively in the transfer market thanks, among other things, to colossal TV rights. Six English teams are part of this top 10. With 1297 million euros, Manchester City has the most expensive collective. For their part, Liverpool (€1,086m) and Chelsea (€1,067m) are second and third respectively. While Manchester United (€869m) is in eighth place. Closely followed by Arsenal (€857m), ninth, and Tottenham (€781m), tenth.
Chelsea, a winter transfer window that allows him to climb the rankings
Third in this top 10 with 1067 million euros, Chelsea has a plethoric workforce. It must be said that the London club had an exceptional winter transfer window. Indeed, owner Todd Boehly has not skimped on resources and has already spent 178.5 million euros in January 2023. Before this transfer market, the Blues workforce was worth 888.5 million euros. euros. This would place him in eighth position in this ranking.
