According to a study by Forbes magazine, PSG has been ranked as the 7th most valuable football club in the world with an estimated value of $4.2B according to the business outlet.

This marks a significant achievement for the club, as it has experienced a remarkable 32% increase in value within a year even though the organization reportedly endured hard financial times during the past calendar year.

PSG's current valuation stands at $4.2 billion (approximately €3.8 billion), solidifying its position among the top clubs globally. This evaluation is particularly noteworthy as it is the first time in the club's history that it has surpassed the $4 billion valuation. Just for context, QSI acquired PSG for a ridiculous €100 million back in March 2012.

Among the notable changes in club valuations, Newcastle United, under new ownership by a wealthy sovereign wealth fund from Saudi Arabia, has witnessed the most significant increase, reaching €745 million.

On the other hand, two English clubs, Leicester City (which has recently been relegated from the Premier League) and Everton (barely avoiding relegation), have experienced the most significant declines in value at -16% (€733 million) and -21% (€698 million), respectively.

Unsurprisingly, Real Madrid remains the most valuable football club in the world, with a staggering valuation of €5.7 billion. Manchester United follows closely behind at €5.6 billion, surpassing Barcelona, which now stands at €5.2 billion.
