Man City prepare for their second Champions League final in history with the most valuable squad in the tournament.
Man City is the most expensive team in the world
According to Transfermarkt, Man City's registered squad is currently worth 1.05 billion euros.
This is also the biggest value in world football at the moment. Behind Man City is Chelsea, a team that had a disastrous season but has a quality squad worth 1.02 billion euros.
In addition, in the top 6 tallest players in the world, Man City is the only club to contribute two members.
Erling Haaland is worth 170 million euros, ranking second in the world. The most expensive player currently is PSG's Kylian Mbappe, worth 180 million euros.
The remaining Man City member in the top 6 most expensive players in the world is Phil Foden.
The England international is valued at €110m, the same as Jamal Musiala. Above him are Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham - who has just joined Real Madrid, both at €120m.
In terms of squad value, Inter are far behind the English football champions.
The most valuable player in the Inter squad is Lautaro Martinez, valued at 80 million euros. The total value of the team under Simone Inzaghi is 534.45 million euros.
Thus, Inter's value is only slightly more than half of Man City's, ranking 11th among clubs participating in the Champions League this season, and 14th in the world.
Lautaro is Inter's most expensive player
The Champions League final is a contrast in terms of value and spending power.
In 3 of the last 8 seasons, Man City have spent over 200 million euros on transfers. In the 2017-18 season alone, Pep Guardiola's second year at Etihad, the club spent 317.5 million euros on new contracts.
It was a season of deals like Laporte, Kyle Walker, Bernardo Silva, Benjamin Mendy and goalkeeper Ederson.
Inter's spending has been much more restrained, except for the 2019-20 season, when they spent over €191m at Antonio Conte's request.
With Simeone Inzaghi, Inter sold more than they bought. The first season was 42.55 million euros for new contracts and 42.6 million euros this season - less than a third of Man City's.
Of course, top football matches are not decided solely by the value of the players, but depend on many different factors.
