📊 From dominant Juve to Inter on top: how club values have shifted 🔥

Who is worth more today between Juventus and Inter? Once the answer was obvious, but the balance has been overturned.

Today's challenge captures a handover already certified by the numbers, waiting for that of the field. The overtaking is determined by the enterprise value, that is the overall valuation of a club based on the sum of its assets.

This is not the selling price, but an objective estimate elaborated by Football Benchmark and taken up by La Gazzetta dello Sport, which uses the method of multiples of turnover corrected by an algorithm that takes into account five factors: profitability, online popularity, squad value, management of TV rights and stadium.

📊 Juve-Inter, values overturned in the last ten years

According to the latest survey, which relies on the 2022-23 and 2023-24 financial statements, Inter has reached 1.715 billion, overtaking Juventus stuck at 1.651. For the Nerazzurri a leap of 20%, for the Bianconeri a drop of 3%.

A gap that becomes even more significant if compared to the last decade: in 2016 Juve was worth two and a half times Inter, a gap that grew to almost 3 to 1 in 2017. Those were the years of national dominance and European finals, crowned by the purchase of Cristiano Ronaldo, a choice that was supposed to project the club into the global elite. Instead, pandemic, out-of-control expenses, change of governance, penalties and wrong investments have produced losses of over 900 million since 2018 onwards.

The path of Inter, on the contrary, has been ascending. After the Moratti era, the arrival of Suning provided the necessary resources to bring the team back to the Champions League on a stable basis, with a consequent increase in UEFA revenues and international visibility. The data on stadium receipts, which have grown by 45% since 2018-19, testify to the push of a Meazza often sold out.

The market value of the club has gone from one billion in 2022 to 1.4 billion in 2024, despite the difficulties of the Zhang family and the subsequent change of ownership to Oaktree. The new management has favored the restructuring of the debt and reduced the financial burdens, preparing the ground for the first profitable balance sheet in Nerazzurri history.
