PSG, Man City and the most financially powerful clubs in world football

The Ligue 1 champions have dethroned their Premier League counterparts, while Manchester United have dropped out of the top 10

Paris Saint-Germain have usurped Manchester City as the club with the most financial power in world football, according to the latest 

Bayern Munich are a distant third in the standings, while Tottenham and Real Madrid round out the top five. 

Manchester United, meanwhile, have failed to make the top 10, dropping down to 16th, mainly due depreciation in squad value and an increase in cash debt. 

The findings take into account a club's playing assets (A), tangible assets (B), cash in the bank (C), potential owner investment (D) and net debt (E) to give an overall Football Finance Index (FFI) score.

FFI looks at the performance of clubs in each of the five key variables identified, weighted against that variable’s percentage of the cumulative total.

FFI score for each team can be calculated as follows: (A) FFI Score + (B) FFI Score + (C) FFI Score + (D) FFI Score – (E) FFI Score.
