Premier League Clubs Dominate Money Table

A record nine Premier League clubs have made it into the top 20 of international football's Money League.

The highest-earning Premier League club for last season was Manchester United (NYSE: MANU - news) , which fell one place after generating an income of €519.5m (£399m) last season.

Spanish sides Real Madrid and Barcelona top the league table, taking first and second place respectively.

The eight other Premier League clubs in the top 20 are: Manchester City (6); Arsenal (7); Chelsea (8); Liverpool (9); Tottenham (12); Newcastle (17); Everton (18) and West Ham (20).

Of the top 30 earning clubs, 16 were in the Premier League.

Three Premier League clubs also made their first appearance in league, with Leicester City (24), Crystal Palace (28) and West Bromwich Albion (29) joining the elite.

Despite falling into third place this year, Manchester United has been tipped to top the Money League next year.

Tim Bridge, senior manager at Deloitte, said: "Despite a reduction in revenue year-on-year, the fact that Manchester United remain in the top three of the Money League demonstrates the underlying strength of the club's business model.

"The return to Champions League football as well as the commencement of a number of significant commercial partnerships will only strengthen the business in 2015/16.

"With (Other OTC: WWTH - news) this in mind, it would not be surprising to see United top next year's Money League for the first time in 12 years, with the club forecasting revenues of around £500m."

On a European level, Italian clubs' financial struggles are continuing.

Inter Milan have almost dropped out of the top 20 and are expected to be overtaken by the likes of Leicester City and Southampton in future years.

Here is the top 10 on this year's table:

1. Real Madrid (€577m)

2. Barcelona (€560.8m)

3. Manchester United (€519.5m)

4. Paris St Germain (€480.8m)

5. Bayern Munich (€474m)

6. Manchester City (€463.5m)

7. Arsenal (€435.5m)

8. Chelsea (€420m)

9. Liverpool (€391.8m)

10. Juventus (Milan: JUVE.MI - news) (€323.9m)
