The club chaired by Florentino Pérez has increased sales by 25.8% from one season to the next, largely thanks to the completion of the renovation works at the Santiago Bernabéu, which has now become a money-generating machine to the point that it has match day sales doubled compared to the previous season, with a total of 248 million euros. Furthermore, the entity that employs Mbappé, Vinicius, Bellingham and Rodrygo, among other stars, also recorded a 19% increase in commercial revenue (from 403 million euros to 482 million euros), thanks to the pull of merchandising and new sponsorships.
The Football Money League report, prepared by Deloitte, ensures that the 20 clubs with the highest turnover in world football generated record sales together of 11.2 billion euros, which represents an increase of 6% compared to the previous season. FC Barcelona earned 760 million, to occupy sixth place, two less than last year, which represents a loss of 5% due to the cut of 63 million euros in income for each match day, due to the need to play at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, smaller than the Spotify Camp Nou, due to the remodeling that is being carried out at the latter.
