The growth is predicted to continue in the following season as well, with new English Premier League and German Bundesliga broadcast deals in place.

The biggest movers, compared to last year, are PSG, who managed to nearly double their income. Bayern Munich jumped from fourth to third at the expense of Manchester United, while thanks to new broadcasting deals in the Turkish Super Lig, we now have Galatasaray and Fenerbahce in the top twenty for the first time.

Real Madrid are still the kings of world football when it comes to earnings.
