Bavaria and Dortmund in the shadow of the titans: market values ​​revealed!

The first encounters of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 throw their shadows ahead and the information on the market values ​​of the participating teams are in great demand. On June 14, 2025, the current analysis of the transfer market provides an exciting ranking that illustrates the financial dimensions of the tournament. In fact, the different market values ​​are not only crucial for the clubs themselves, but also for the assessment of their chances of the title.

Real Madrid is at the forefront of this ranking with an impressive market value of over 1.4 billion euros. This makes the Spanish team the absolute favorite and has five players in its ranks, each worth more than 100 million euros. Among these stars, Vinicius Junior is the most valuable player, a real jewel for the Madrilenes. Manchester City follows in second place with 1.18 billion euros, closely followed by Paris Saint-Germain, whose squad is also worth over 1 billion euros. Chelsea is also in the race with 952.3 million euros, while Bayern Munich takes fifth place with a market value of 842.5 million euros, as Bulinews.com reports.

The German competition

There are several interesting aspects to discover for German fans.

Bayern Munich, who are known as one of the best clubs in the Bundesliga, have three players with Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise and Harry Kane, who together make up about 37 % of the total value. Borussia Dortmund, the eternal rival from the Bundesliga, occupies ninth place with a value of 478 million euros and has to assert himself against some of the financially stronger clubs in this tournament.

A look at the opponents of Bayern Munich shows that Auckland City, who are the first opponent of the Munich team, start with a ridiculously low market value of only 5.2 million euros. This sum is over 270 times smaller than the value of Real Madrid, which illustrates the differences within the competition. In addition to the other lower teams in the group of Bavaria and Dortmund, all of which are in the lower half of the market value ranking, the club is the clear outsider team in the tournament. According to planetfootball.com, the first three teams in this group all have significantly lower market values ​​than their German competitors.

The international challengers

Another interesting fact: Palmeiras, the most valuable non-European team, is in the 12th place with 238.75 million euros and is certainly not underestimated. Flamengo and Al-Hilal, other strong clubs, show that the competition from South America and Asia is also serious. Al-Hilal has a value of 154.33 million euros and positions itself as the best assessed Asian club, while Flamengo is worth over 200 million euros. This shows that the competition at a global level is becoming increasingly exciting, as the data from Statista.

A total of 32 teams take part in the FIFA Club World Championship 2025 and the market values ​​are an important indicator of the assessment of the strength of the participants. With the first games on the horizon it remains to be seen whether the favorites prevail or whether there are surprise teams that will take their wire rope files into the final.
