Real Madrid have once again been crowned as the most valuable football club in the world following the release of Deloitte’s Football Money League on Thursday.
For the 11th consecutive year, Los Blancos lead the way in revenue, ahead of the rest of the clubs on the planet, including Manchester United, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG and Manchester City.
Goal have learned that Madrid, quite obviously, are extremely satisfied to once again be the No.1 football club in terms of revenue. Given the time of crisis, with a transfer ban recently imposed upon them, it has been a source of great delight at the Bernabeu.
It is the clearest demonstration, the club feel, of the efficiency of Florentino Perez’s management during recent years.
His policies, which began during his first stint as president over a decade ago, have led to Madrid becoming the world’s most valuable club.
Perez has been publicly explaining to Madrid’s members the enormous difficulties being faced on an economic level at the moment.
In addition to that, though, they have had to face competition from clubs that have expanded and been invested in by Sheikhs, meaning they now have far more market power than the majority of ‘traditional’ outfits.
And if Madrid weren’t fighting against enough factors already, English clubs enjoy the benefits of a huge television rights deal.
It means that clubs in the bottom half of the Premier League produce as much revenue - if not more than - Atletico Madrid, for example.
Those financial differences are only going to increase, too, given the new TV deal agreed in England last year.
