According to the "LaLiga Stock Market 2026" research report cited by AS, Espanyol's market valuation has reached €208.5 million at the end of the 2025/26 season, representing a 34.2% increase from €155.3 million the previous season, marking one of the most significant periods of value growth in the club's recent history.
The "LaLiga Stock Market 2026" report, produced by the Intelligence 2P department, assesses not only the club's financial value but also comprehensively evaluates multiple dimensions including sporting performance, digital development, youth academy infrastructure, and future growth prospects.
Notably, in 2025, Velocity Sports Partners (VSP), led by Alan Pace, acquired Espanyol from Chen Yansheng's Rastar Group for approximately €130 million (split between cash and shares). In less than a year, the club's market valuation has already climbed to roughly one-third above the acquisition price.
Espanyol now ranks 11th in La Liga's valuation standings, mirroring the team's final league position this season. In the previous year's assessment, the club ranked 14th, reflecting concurrent improvements in both competitive performance and overall commercial value—aligned with Pace's vision following his acquisition of the club and corroborating the goals of new sporting director Monchi to drive the club's continued development.
Across La Liga as a whole, including all clubs in La Liga and La Liga 2, the total market valuation for 2026 reaches €20.902 billion, a 13% increase year-on-year. Espanyol's next target is to reach the average valuation of €258.3 million among La Liga clubs.
