The UCL kings Real Madrid (£723m), Khelaifi's Paris Saint-Germain (£691m), German dark horses Borussia Dortmund (£587m) and the Spanish giants Atletico Madrid (£566m) complete the top 10.
Premier League trio Tottenham (£486m), Arsenal (£481m) and Leicester (£410m) all feature in the top 20, while West Ham (£288m), Aston Villa (£284m), Everton (£279m) and Wolves (£253m) make the top 30.
