The 17/18 season has ended. But which clubs will be the most revenue-earning in the world?
- Real Madrid – Champions League win. Resulting commercial deals may enhance revenues, to regain top spot
- Man United – Higher league placing in England compared to 16/17, and higher tv revenues
- Barca – La Liga champions
- Bayern – Bundesliga champions
- Man City – Record-breaking English champions
- PSG – CL revenues, plus being French champions, and commercial ties from the Neymar transfer, would boost income
- Arsenal – New sponsorship deals, though lowest league finish since 1995. Match-day income may be lower due to Europa League football
- Liverpool – CL runners-up and fourth in England. New stadium stand would enhance match-day income
- Chelsea – FA Cup winners, but R/16 in CL and 5th in the league. New stadium plans being delayed greatly retard future abilities to earn more
- Juventus – Italian champions, but need CL win and/or better Serie A deals to earn more and move higher in the table
Some trends in the short-term (3-5 years) include:
- Tottenham moving up the table due to the higher revenues from its new stadium
- Juventus moving higher if they win the Champions League
- PSG moving up if they attain CL success
- Potential growth for Arsenal, due to the Club Level expansion, and possible improvement under Emery
- Should Man City improve under Pep, and gain sustained Premier Leagues and European successes, they could potentially rival Man United’s income, due to prize money, TV revenues, and heightened commercial income.
It would be interesting to note. However, I expect English clubs to dominate, considering the higher TV deals that the Premier League accrues. This has been enhanced lately via the Amazon Prime agreement, facilitating live streaming of games.
