TOP 10 richest clubs: Tottenham move ahead of Chelsea

Tottenham have leapfrogged Chelsea to become London’s top richest club, according to Deloitte’s Football Money League. Barcelona, meanwhile, have overtaken Real Madrid to become the world’s richest football club. Deloitte Football Money League have released the latest table which features the top 10 richest clubs in Europe. The results depend on three factors, Matchday, Broadcast and commercial. The top 20 highest-earning football clubs for the 2018/19 season, with combined revenues growing 11% to €9.3bn and it’s a new record. Here are the top 10 richest clubs in Europe. Juventus - €459.7m Juventus open the top ten of richest clubs. They have 40.2m Facebook likes and 35.5m followers on Instagram. 45% of their revenue came from Broadcasts- €208.5m. 41% came from commercials - €185.6m, while 14% came from matchday-€57.8m. “The arrival of talismanic forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who alone has more Instagram followers than Real Madrid and Barcelona combined, undoubtedly increased Juventus’ commercial appeal,” wrote Deloitte.

The Blues saw the 44% of their revenues came from broadcasts and it’s €227.1m. 41% of the money Chelsea earned from commercials- €185.4m. Only 15% or €75.6m the Blues received from match days. “2019/20 has seen the appointment of club legend Frank Lampard as manager and a return to Champions League,” wrote Deloitte. Image Source: Getty Images Tottenham Hotspur - €521.1m Tottenham reached the Champions League final and moved into their new £1billion stadium. The Spurs saw their revenue grow by 21 per cent to £459.3m, largely aided by their broadcast revenue. They leapfrogged Chelsea to become London’s top richest club. “Broadcast revenue growth of 22% was driven by the club’s progression to the Champions League final,” wrote Deloitte. Image Source: Getty Images Liverpool- €604.7m Despite Champions League glory, Liverpool are still not the richest club in the world or even in the Premier League. The 49% per cent of their money came from broadcast revenue, while 35% from commercials. “Liverpool are expected to retain the seventh place in next year’s Money League, particularly if the club captures its first Premier League title and enjoys a run to the latter stages of the Champions League once again,” wrote Deloitte. Image Source: Getty Images Manchester City -€610.6m Manchester City is just the sixth richest club in Europe. 47% of their money came from broadcast revenue, while 43% from commercials. Matchdays earned only 10% of the money for the Sky Blues. “The 2018/19 season was the club’s most successful ever season on-pitch, becoming the first English club to win the domestic treble, delivering record revenue,” wrote Deloitte. Image Source: Getty Images Paris Saint-Germain- €635.9m PSG open the top five of richest clubs and what is interesting is that the Ligue 1 champions earned the 57% of the money from commercials. Just 25% they earned from broadcast revenues and only 18% from match days. “The 2018/19 season saw impressive double-digit percentage growth across all revenue streams for Paris Saint-Germain,” wrote Deloitte. Image Source: Getty Images Bayern Munich-€660.1m Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich are the fourth richest club in Europe. 54% of the money they earned from commercials, 32 % from broadcast revenues and 14% from Matchdays. “Bayern is clearly the leading German club in the Money League, and this was highlighted on the pitch as the club won the German Cup and Bundesliga double,” wrote Deloitte. Image Source: Getty Images Manchester United - €711.5m Manchester United's year-on-year revenues rose from £589.8m to £627.1m but forecasted revenue for 2019-20 is between £560-£580m, partly because the club failed to qualify for the Champions League. The 45% United earned from commercials and 38% from broadcasts. “United predicts revenue of £560-580m in 2019/20, a result that would likely see the club fall to its lowest ever Money League position in next year’s edition,” wrote Deloitte. Image Source: Getty Images Real Madrid - €757.3m Real Madrid swapped places with Barca and fell to second. Madrid, which was top last year, increased revenue to €757.3m ($843.6m). 47% of the money Real earned from Commercials, while 34% from Broadcasts. “Real Madrid expected to break the €800m revenue mark for the first time in the club’s history in 2019/20,” wrote Deloitte. Image Source: Getty Images Barcelona -€840.8m Barcelona reach the top of the Money League for the first time ever. They also become the first club to break the €800m barrier. Barcelona had a turbulent six months- including a shock Champions League exit to Liverpool and the sacking of Ernesto Valverde. “FC Barcelona top the Money League for the first time becoming only the third club to hold the position since inaugural publication in respect of the 1996/97 season,” wrote Deloitte.
