The value of AC Milan’s squad is behind that of rivals Inter and Juventus, according to the source Transfermarkt.
In a post on their social media, Transfermarkt have provided a graphic which shows a comparison of the top teams in Italy when it comes to the cumulative market values of their current senior squads. Serie A lags behind the major European powers, and Milan are no exception.
The most striking figure concerns the Rossoneri, who sit in 21st place in Europe with an overall valuation of €483.5m. This ranking – while still keeping Milan in the top part of European football – highlights a clear gap compared to the top clubs in the continent.
Making the picture even more significant is the complete absence of Italian teams in the top 10. The best representative of Serie A is Inter, which occupies 12th place with a value of €636.3m. Further behind are Juventus, in 16th with €544.2m. After Milan there is Roma in 25th place with €454.5m.
It is not all bad news, though. Since the summer window closed, the value of Napoli’s squad has gone down by €79m, whole for Inter it has decreased by €72m, and €39m for Juventus. For Milan, the value has gone up by €12m, but leading this ranking (in terms of increase) is Como at a remarkable €103m.

you can’t take the ranking based on perceived value seriously. Tottenham are valued at over 800 mil (5th in the league) and they’re fighting not to relegate from the Premier League.
It may not be scientific or anything, but it’s pretty accurate. Tottenham is basically the same team that won Europa League and finished top 8 in the UCL earlier this season. They are simply an underperforming sporting paradox in general.
The three main sources of team revenue are:
– television rights
– sponsorship
– gate receipts
Seria A television rights come nowhere close to the Premier League and outdated stadiums limit the gate receipts. Get a decent return for the television rights and build new stadiums. The incremental revenue will allow Serie A to compete with the Premier League for players in demand.
21st place in Europe, with our two most expensive players constantly injured throughout the season. Chee, I wonder why Allegri didn’t win every single match, how dare he.
Should have still won small & pathetic clubs such as Parma, Cremonese etc. Even without his two most expensive players. No excuses.
