Real Madrid remain football's top earners but Liverpool overtake Man Utd
"The Spanish club topped Deloitte's Football Money League, published on Thursday, with 1.16 billion euros ($1.36bn) of revenue despite not winning either La Liga or the Champions League. The only club to make more than $1bn in the past two seasons, Real Madrid benefitted in 2024-25 from a whopping 23 percent rise in commercial revenue driven by merchandise and corporate partners to 594 million euros ($696.6m), the Deloitte figures showed."
"Liverpool have overtaken Manchester United for the first time as the Premier League's biggest-financial earners, but Real Madrid remained top performers in world football during the 2024-25 season, according to an annual financial list. Liverpool's fifth place in the global money list, with 836 million euros ($980.4m) of revenues from the season they won the Premier League, was the strongest performance of any English club in the 29-year history of the rankings."
"Manchester United, who finished a lowly 15th in the Premier League last season, fell from fourth to eighth in revenues with 793 million euros ($929.7m) their lowest-ever position in the Money League that they have topped 10 times in the past. Deloitte noted that United's revenue outlook for the current season will worsen due to their absence from European competition and early exits from the FA Cup and League Cup."
Real Madrid generated €1.16 billion in 2024-25, the highest revenue in world football, aided by a 23% rise in commercial income to €594 million from merchandise and corporate partners. Barcelona returned to the top three with €975 million. Bayern Munich (€861m) and Paris St-Germain (€837m) followed. Liverpool earned €836 million after winning the Premier League, marking the strongest-ever English-club performance in the Money League and surpassing Manchester United. Manchester City (€829m) and Arsenal (€822m) trailed, while Manchester United fell to eighth with €793 million and face further revenue declines without European competition.
