Financial reports released for the 2024/25 European football season have revealed serious systemic problems and staggering levels of losses among many clubs. The English Premier League, recognized as the strongest league in the world, is leading in terms of negative indicators. The 20 EPL clubs incurred a total loss of 1.05 billion dollars, with the main share falling to Chelsea, which faced a record deficit of 346 million dollars. Auto.mail.ru reports on this.
The financial situation among other major European clubs varies. Italy's Inter recorded the best result with a profit of 96 million dollars, while Spain's Real Madrid and Barcelona saw profits of 85 million and 81 million dollars, respectively. Germany's Bayern Munich had a positive balance of 48 million dollars, and England's Man City recorded 3 million dollars.
At the same time, several famous clubs faced significant financial losses. In particular, Man United reported a loss of 24 million dollars, while France's PSG announced a loss of 42 million dollars. Experts note that maintaining financial balance is becoming increasingly difficult even in the highest-earning leagues. Chelsea's figures are being assessed as a worrying record not only for England but for the entire history of football.
