Liverpool have seen a near £343m (€400m) rise in their value over the past year, according to the latest valuations from renowned US money magazine Forbes.
In the 2021 Forbes list, which compared the most valuable football teams in the world, Liverpool sat fifth with a valuation of €4.1bn (£3.52bn). But following a successful season on the pitch, revenue streams bouncing back well post pandemic and the club's ability to manage its way through the financial uncertainty of COVID without incurring huge losses, the Reds have jumped into fourth place on the global list.
Forbes peg Liverpool's valuation in 2022 at around €4.45bn (£3.82bn), a valuation that sees them leapfrog Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, although they still trail Manchester United by an estimated €150m (£129m). The Red Devils sit third despite their continued lack of success on the pitch and the fractious nature of the relationship between the aloof Glazer family's ownership and the club's fan base. United have, though, stagnated at the same valuation (€4.6bn) as the list 12 months ago.
