Revenues in soccer: Real Madrid by more than a billion, no Italian in Top 10
There is no one like Real Madrid. Data linked to rivals for the 2024/25 season, penned by Deloitte’s Football Money League, have certified the Blanco club’s overwhelming power. Real Madrid is the highest-billing football club in the world. The numbers are stratospheric, considering that we are talking about a total revenue of 1,161 million euros. In fact, Real Madrid is the’only club in the world that bills more than a billion. An overwhelming victory over all rivals. Real Madrid remains the best in soccer, at least in terms of turnover.
In second place in the ranking of soccer’s paperons is another Spanish club, namely Barcelona with 975 million euros in revenues. It is followed on the lowest step of the podium by Bayern Munich (861). Rounding out the rich Top 10 are well-known clubs. Specifically, there is PSG, fourth with 837 million, Liverpool (836), Manchester City, down 1 from the previous year (829), Arsenal (822) Manchester United (793), Tottenham (673) and Chelsea (584).
No Italian clubs featured in the Top 10. Yet another confirmation of the difficulties of our soccer. Inter, despite a banner season with many finals reached last year, has to settle for 11th place with 538 million in revenues. It is followed by Milan, 15th, with 410 million. Juventus pays for the bad season it had last year and has to settle for 16th place with “only” 402 million euros in revenues.
Data in hand, the Premier League continues to lay down the law. As many as six English clubs feature in the top 10 places, certifying the superiority, clear-cut, of English soccer. Real Madrid and Barcelona hold La Liga aloft. As always, Bayern Munich and PSG are the’excellence of Germany and France.
According to Deloitte analysts, we may soon also see clubs from the Saudi Pro League and MLS in the Top 10. Italian soccer, on the other hand, is called for a quick redemption to return to the level it once was. Inter and Milan hope that the new stadium can lend a big hand.
