"Much as we would probably prefer it if it didn't, money does a lot of talking in football. Wages spend remains the best predictor of a club's future success that we have - so you'd expect the richest clubs in the game to also rank among the most successful, right? But there are a couple of English teams whose placement in the football rich list does not exactly match up to their actual performance in the league table."
"The latest annual edition of the Deloitte Money League ranks clubs from across world football by the amount of revenue they generate on a yearly basis. There's no surprises at the very top end, with Real Madrid the only club to surpass one billion Euro (870.2m) in revenue in the 2024/25 season. They are followed by Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and PSG."
Money strongly influences football outcomes, with wage spending remaining the best predictor of future club success. The Deloitte Money League ranks clubs globally by annual revenue and places Real Madrid top, exceeding one billion euros in 2024/25. Liverpool became the highest-earning English club after winning the Premier League, overtaking Manchester City; City, Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea fill the rest of the top ten. Tottenham's high revenue placing contrasts with a poor league finish. West Ham feature in the top 20 by revenue despite sitting in the relegation zone, showing a gap between income and on-field results. The Premier League dominates the list due to large global TV deals and equal revenue distribution.
