PE Deal Size Ranking
* Valuations compiled from Forbes Most Valuable Soccer Teams and Sportico. Deal figures reflect reported transaction values at announcement. Man United figure reflects INEOS/Ratcliffe's 27.7% stake acquisition in 2024 at a ~£5bn club valuation. Silver Lake's $500m reflects investment into City Football Group (18.1% stake), not MCFC directly. Arsenal's PE link is indirect — Arctos Partners holds a stake in Fenway Sports Group, which has cross-holdings in the broader football investment ecosystem.
