Top 10 Richest Clubs - Deloitte Football Money League 2018

Deloitte Football Money League
Which club made the most revenue in 2017?

#1 Manchester United - €676.3m

Manchester United v Aston Villa - Premier League
Manchester United

Manchester United remain at the top of the Deloitte Football Money League, but the gap has never been closer (€1.7m). Winning the UEFA Europa League ensured Manchester United's drop in revenue wasn't too bad, thus ensuring their #1 spot for two years in a row.

Surprisingly enough, commercial revenue decreased from €364m to €325.2m, a fall of €38.8m. Given the return to the Champions League, that trend should arrest itself. Similarly, matchday revenue fell by €11.8m to €125.2m, but broadcast revenue increased from €188m to €225.9m.

In total, Manchester United saw a decrease of 1.8% (€12.7m) in revenue. Moving back to the UEFA Champions League will mean that the Red Devils will once again post increased revenues - coupled with increased broadcast and commercial revenue, it seems unlikely that any club will topple Manchester United from the top spot of the Deloitte Football Money League next year.
