The Top 20 Richest Football Clubs In The World by beloxxi(m): 6:56pm On Apr 15, 2017
Deloitte has just released the Football Money League, charting the Huge turnovers of Europeans most successful clubs.

This year 2017, Manchester United is the first club to reach the new milestone of £500 million spillover, which was enough to disqualify Real Madrid of their top spot on the list for the 12th year running.

Not much has changed in the long run, though, the League's top three clubs have remained the same since Deloitte launched the study 20 years ago, in 1997.

Combined Money League club revenues increased by a massive 12% this year, reaching a total of £5.5 billion across the top 20 teams.

Deloitte estimates that due to record television contacts, all Premier League clubs will be in the top 30 by next year.

See the stats below:

20. Leicester City
£128.7 million. Last season, Leicester City FC shook the world when they were crowned champions of the British Premier League for the first time in their 132-year club history. The Foxes' historic victory sent them hurtling into the top 20 this year — their £128.7 million is five times greater than their 2013/14 season just two years ago.

19. Internazionale
£134 million. 'Inter Milan' retained their place in the top 20, which they've been since the sands of time began rolling in European football history. Inter Milan's second richest team have been similarly reliable in Seria A — having played continuously in Italy's top-flight since the club's inception in 1909. Their time in the Money League could be coming to an end, though, since it's apparent that they would be knocked out of the first 20 richest clubs, because from next year seasons the EPL teams in their entirety would measure up in the first 20.

18. West Ham
£143.8 million. Despite the ongoing disputes with club superstar Dimitri Payet, club form has helped the Hammers break into Deloitte's ranking. Their acquisition of the Olympic Stadium — now London Stadium — will undoubtedly increase earnings next year.

17. Zenit St Petersburg
£147 million. In 2005, Russian gas giants, Gazprom, took a controlling stake in the St. Petersburg-based side and invested millions into new signings and a new stadium. It is the only Russian club to have ever featured in the Money League.

16. AC Milan
£160.6 million. Silvio Berlusconi's club managed to stem leaky profits this year, with a £13 million increase. Chinese owners set to boost the clubs earning in the coming years.

15. AS Roma
£163.2 million. The Italian capitals Milan is currently playing without a kit sponsor. For the first time they where able to beat their rivals, AC Milan for the first time, courtesy of their last seasons championship merits.

14. Schalke 04
£167.9 million. Despite missing out on Champions League football last season, the Gelsenkirchen-based side managed to score profits from an incredibly loyal following — crowds averaged 61,076 last year.

13. Atletico Madrid
£171 million. Madrid's second richest club took to the 13th spot thanks to the entire team for performing exceedingly great to participate in the UEFA champions league twice under 3 years and also a big thanks to the spontaneous Antoine Griezmann. Increased broadcasting revenues have given a major boost to clubs across Spain.

12. Tottenham .... see more
