Top 20 Richest Clubs In World Soccer Revealed: Man City 2nd, Tottenham Above Chelsea And Arsenal

The latest edition of the Deloitte Football Money League was published this week.

According to the annual financial study, Real Madrid's revenue during the 2022/23 season was higher than that of any other club in world soccer.

Deloitte's calculations claim that Madrid raked in €831.4 million.

Manchester City placed second in the 2022/23 Money League with an estimated income of €825.9m.

These figures do not include player sales.

Manchester City's revenue excluding player sales was €825.9m for the 2022/23 season, according to Deloitte

City were joined in the top 10 by five other Premier League clubs, including local rivals Manchester United in fifth with a revenue of €745.8m.

Meanwhile, Tottenham made more than both Arsenal and Chelsea last season.

An impressive financial performance by Spurs was largely due to the money-making power of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which hosted Beyonce, as well as multiple NFL games, in 2023.

However, Tottenham will likely be below Arsenal in next year's Money League.

That is because Spurs are not competing in the UEFA Champions League during the 2023/24 season and will therefore experience a significant drop in TV and prize money.

Liverpool's revenue was slightly higher than Tottenham's last season.
