The business side of football has always fascinated me. Club valuations tell a deeper story about ambition and transformation goals. That’s why the rise in Newcastle United’s worth caught many fans’ attention, including mine.
It wasn’t too long ago that Newcastle United was fighting for its dear life. However, the club saw a dramatic turnaround in just a few years. This drastically increased the football club’s value, and even betting apps in the UK had to continuously adjust Newcastle’s odds so they would reflect the team’s increasing power level.
Not only does this make the fans proud, but it also positively impacts a club’s aura. Newcastle United started attracting more talented and high-profile players following its 2021 sale to the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which was followed by an increase in the club’s worth, alongside squad valuations, and its current owner’s net worth.
How much is Newcastle United valued at?
Newcastle United is worth over £1 billion ($1.3 billion), according to Bloomberg’s latest reporting on Newcastle’s value. The Saudi Public Investment Fund further increased its stake in the club after buying out Amanda Staveley’s share, following the 2021 takeover.
The £1 billion valuation of Newcastle United places the team on par with European giants like AC Milan, which was sold for a similar amount in 2022 to an American investment firm, Red Bird Capital. Overall, this is a massive leap from Newcastle’s £305 million purchase price in 2021, and the results also back up the efforts.
While Newcastle’s valuation increased dramatically, the club managed to:
- Win the Carabao Cup in 2025 after defeating Liverpool in the finals.
- Started securing Champions League spots and competing in other European competitions.
- Record revenue growth of around 28-30 percent in 2024, when compared to the 22/23 season.

What is the squad value of Newcastle United?
Newcastle United’s squad is valued at around £550 million, according to Transfermarkt’s market value analysis at the time of writing. This is a dynamic number, and it can even change throughout a season. Player form, injuries, and potential transfer offers can impact squad values.
If a player has a great season, their individual value can increase. This lifts the entire squad’s worth. The opposite is also true, as injuries and underperformance can lead to depreciation in player values.
