Liverpool FC has been listed as the fourth-most valuable soccer team in the world, after a stunning debut season under head coach Arne Slot helped retain their status as a global heavyweight.
The Reds received $244.5 million in prize money for winning the Premier League title, and an additional $112 million in Champions League payments despite an early exit from the competition.
In addition to the current valuation of Liverpool, Forbes estimates that the club generated $773 million in revenue last season.
While it's still well below Alexander-Arnold's current market value, it also allows Liverpool to save money on wages and bonuses that would have been paid before his contract ends on June 30.
Alexander-Arnold's new club, Madrid, has been listed as the most valuable soccer team in the world and set a new record during the 2023-24 season.
Madrid's $1.129 billion revenue is unprecedented in soccer, with Manchester City's $901 million revenue in 2023-24 the previous record.
The only other sports team in the world to generate over $1 billion in a single season is the Dallas Cowboys, who enjoyed a profitable year in the NFL back in 2021 before repeating their success in 2023.
Behind Madrid is Manchester United, who rank second despite their major struggles in recent years.
City complete the top five with a $5.3 billion valuation, with Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain placing ahead of Arsenal, Tottenham, and Chelsea.
Liverpool is thriving in the current Premier League era, and their value could increase if more success comes its way.
