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.
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.
