As of March 23, 2025, La Liga remains home to some of the world’s most valuable clubs, with recent market value updates shedding light on the financial strength of Spain’s top teams. The list, based on Transfermarkt’s latest valuation, highlights the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona while showcasing the steady rise and struggles of other clubs.
Top 10 Most Valuable La Liga Clubs in 2025
Real Madrid (€1.27bn, +3.1%)
The 15-time UEFA Champions League winners continue to reign supreme financially. With world-class talent, including Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior, and Kylian Mbappe their squad value has seen a 3.1% increase, cementing them as the most valuable club in Spain.
Barcelona (€1.02bn, +0.4%)
Despite financial struggles in recent seasons, Barcelona still holds a squad worth over €1bn. Young stars like Lamine Yamal and Pedri keep their market value stable, but only a 0.4% increase shows stagnation compared to their rivals. This is due to the fall in the price of other players like Ansu Fati who is now worth only €5m.
Atlético Madrid (€516m, +3.8%)
Diego Simeone’s side remains Spain’s third force, seeing a 3.8% rise in valuation. With Antoine Griezmann, Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth leading the attack and young talents emerging, Atleti maintains its financial strength, even if they still trail Madrid and Barcelona.
Real Sociedad (€383m, -9.0%)
A 9% decline in squad value highlights Real Sociedad’s struggles. Despite their impressive performances in La Liga and Europe in the previous season, they are not their usual self this season, hence their squad depth is not as marketable as the top three.
Athletic Club (€367m, +3.9%)
The Basque club, famous for its policy of only fielding players of Basque origin, has seen a 3.9% increase in squad value. Their homegrown philosophy remains strong, with stars like Nico Williams boosting their market worth.
Villarreal (€219m, +1.2%)
Villarreal’s value remains steady, with a 1.2% increase. The “Yellow Submarine” continues to punch above its weight in European competitions, enhancing their squad valuation.
Valencia (€215m, -10%)
A 10% drop reflects Valencia’s financial instability and dip in form of their squad. Once a powerhouse in Spain, their struggles in the transfer market and managerial instability have cost them.
Girona (€181m, +3.4%)
Girona’s market value rises by 3.4%, thanks to their incredible performance in La Liga last season, although they separated part with some of their top performing players like Dovbyk, Savinho, Eric Garcia, who helped them to earn a top 4 finish in the previous season. Their rise as a surprise package has put them on the footballing map.
Sevilla (€175m, 0%)
Sevilla remains stagnant with no increase or decrease in value. The club’s inconsistent domestic performances and failure to attract top-tier talent are evident in their financial standing.
Real Betis (€170m, +3.2%)
Real Betis has seen a 3.2% increase, reflecting their steady performances in La Liga. With a strong squad and European football experience, they continue to build value.
Real Madrid remains the financial giant of Spanish football, followed closely by Barcelona. Atlético Madrid continues to maintain its third-place dominance, while clubs like Real Sociedad and Valencia face value declines. Girona’s emergence and Villarreal’s stability reflect the ever-changing financial landscape of La Liga.
