Real Madrid Remains Richest Football Club, While Arsenal Moves Ahead Of Chelsea (See Top 30 List)

Spanish Giant, Real Madrid retained their place at the
summit of the world’s 20 richest football clubs for the
11th year in a row, having generated £439m, according to
Deloitte Football Money League.
Although, half of the top 30 highest-earning football clubs
in the world play in the Premier League, but Spanish
sides Real Madrid and Barcelona lead the way.
Real’s arch-rivals Barcelona rose two places to second on
the list, pushing Manchester United down to third. Paris
Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich completed the top
five.
Real Madrid actually saw a £4.3m fall in broadcast
revenue but significant gains in commercial revenue and
matchday income made up for the loss.
“It would not be surprising to see Manchester United top
next year’s Money League for the first time in 12 years,
with the club forecasting revenues of around £500m.”
