Liverpool now among ‘world’s elite clubs’ after FSG masterclass
Liverpool have overseen a memorable campaign after they lifted their second-ever Premier League title.
Arne Slot oversaw the Reds lift their 20th top division title to tie with Manchester United for the most in England.
It was an incredible feat, with Liverpool now the best club in the country once again.
There is a real sense of hope around the Anfield faithful that this can now be the start of a new era of dominance, with more trophies expected.
Now, news has recently broken that has confirmed Liverpool’s status as one of the world’s elite clubs, as their value has skyrocketed in a recent assessment.
Liverpool now world’s fourth most valuable club
Liverpool’s finances over the past year have been universally praised.
The Merseyside club has made many impressive deals to ensure that money continues to flow throughout the club.
Now, this seems to have paid off as the club has risen in the most valuable club rankings according to a recent report.
According to a study from NBC Sports (6 May), Liverpool are now the fourth most valuable club in the world.
The Reds are now valued at around £4 billion, and are only behind Real Madrid, Manchester United and Barcelona in the rankings.
| Top five most valuable football club in the world | |
| Real Madrid | $6.7 billion |
| Manchester United | $6 billion |
| Barcelona | $5.65 billion |
| Liverpool | $5.4 billion |
| Manchester City | $5.2 billion |
This comes despite the club failing to reach the Champions League in the 2023/24 campaign and recording a pre-tax loss of £57 million.
Overall, last season, the Merseyside club had a revenue of £614 million, with £308 million coming from commercial deals and £102 million from match day earnings.
Another major highlight was the fact that their debt sat at just 3% of their overall valuation.
FSG deserve credit for Liverpool’s growth
The Fenway Sports Group get a lot of criticism from the Anfield faithful, especially due to their reluctance to spend in the transfer windows.
However, Liverpool’s owners deserve a lot of credit for how they have run the financial side of the club and turned it into a powerhouse.
The expansion of Anfield has been particularly impressive, even more so as it hasn’t put the Reds into significant debt during its completion.
Now, the task is to ensure that the growth of Liverpool results in more trophies. All eyes will be on the summer window, and the board needs to ensure that Slot is backed to help retain the Premier League title.
