The latest Deloitte Football Money League list is out and Inter are in 9th place with £167.4m in revenues.
The Deloitte Football Money League list is based on clubs’ revenue excluding transfer fees and Real Madrid has once again regained the top spot.
The list is dominated by English teams, who take up seven of the top twenty positions. Four Serie A teams made the list and they are Juventus, Inter, AC Milan and Roma.
There is a huge difference between the revenues of the top five clubs and the rest. Even with revenues of £167.4m, Inter’s revenues less than half those of Real Madrid. And if the pound had been stronger, Manchester United’s revenues would have been twice those of Inter also.
Even within the top clubs there are “haves” and “have nots”. For Inter to close the revenue gap on the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United, they will have to move into their own stadium so that they can increase their match day revenue.
