Recently released data by UEFA has shown Manchester United to be the most expensive squad in Europe.
Manchester United – £1.21 billion
Shockingly, the Red Devils were ranked at the summit of the list, with the team spending about £1.21 billion to assemble its current squad.
The squad have not performed remarkably in recent seasons, with the team not hitting excellent heights this campaign, however, Manchester United had a good season last term, qualifying for the UEFA Champions League and winning the Carabao Cup.
The approval of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's 25% acquisition of a stake at the Old Trafford side, could see the team spend more in the summer of 2024.
Given the club's fortunes this campaign, they might want to overhaul the team to get back on track.
Manchester City – £1.1 billion
Anyway, Manchester City have the second most expensive assembled squad in Europe, with the team spending about £1.1 billion to build the team to its current state.
The Cityzens have dolled out staggering amounts to build a successful team and thanks to the club and manager Pep Guardiola, their drive has been effective.
Guardiola has demonstrated how to build a mega squad with huge money and has won the biggest of trophies over the years, including the treble - Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League, which he won last season.
The Premier League champions are the most successful side on the list in the past 3 seasons.
Chelsea – £927 million
Chelsea occupy the 3rd spot on the list, with the London club having one of the most expensive assembled squad in Europe.
The Blues have been disastrous since the recent cash injection to the team, with the team failing to make the Champions League last term and are also eyeing another season without European football.
Despite the hiring and firing of managers, the team has remained stagnant and regressing constantly.
Anyway, they have a chance at getting silverware this campaign via the Carabao Cup, as they are currently in the final to play Liverpool on February 25, 2024.
Real Madrid – £882 million
Los Blancos have splashed out the cash judiciously, as they have done over the years, with the acquisition of one notable player every summer.
Despite seemingly appearing to be moving away from the Galactico era, the team has still prioritized the addition of one marquee player to the team every summer.
Real Madrid's spending have yielded positive results relatively, with the team winning every trophy that can be won in the past 5 years, notably; La Liga, Copa del Rey, UEFA Champions League, Spanish Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
Paris Saint Germain – £802 million
Expectedly, the French money-bags will rightly be on the list, given their spending across the years.
However, their spending have reduced in recent years and that is obviously why they are placed in this position on the most expensive assembled squad in Europe.
PSG have been wishy-washy in recent years, with the club's dominance only being witnessed in France.
Paris Saint Germain have its sights on European success and they have over the years dolled out massive cash to achieve that aim.
Meanwhile, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Juventus fall below the Parisians in 6th, 7th, and 8th, having spent £774 million, £761 million, and £658 million respectively to assemble their squads.
