Deloitte has released its annual Money League today.
It highlights the world’s top clubs, concerning revenues and turnover.
It’s a key tool in understanding the big clubs’ motivations and income sources, and just how much contemporary football is money-oriented.
The infographic and slideshow denote each club’s ranking this year, further specified below:
– Manchester United
– Real Madrid
– Barcelona
– Bayern Munich
– Manchester City
– Arsenal
– PSG
– Chelsea
– Liverpool
– Juventus
– Tottenham Hotspur
– Borussia Dortmund
– Atletico Madrid
– Leicester City
– Internazionale
– Schalke 04
– West Ham United
– Southampton
– Napoli
– Everton
Overall, there are few surprises.
English clubs dominate due to the extended TV rights deal.
Manchester United is still top, though winning the Europa League ensured it just pipped Real Madrid, which of course won the Champions League.
In the top ten, Arsenal has moved from seventh to sixth, whilst Chelsea due to a lack of European football has fallen to eighth place.
Everton is a new entrant to the top twenty, as is Napoli.
PSG’s revenues have fallen, though this may change in 17/18 if they attain major Champions League success. The record signing of Neymar may also boost commercial deals, and merchandise sales.
In coming posts, I shall take time to analyse clubs’ performances, as well as trends apparent between countries.
