📰BF38: Premier League Tops Deloitte Money League💰
The Premier League generates more revenue than any other league in Europe - but which leagues are growing fastest?
The big five European leagues grew their financial muscle by six per cent in 2017/18 with revenues totalling £13.7bn, according to Deloitte.
Broken down by country, the Premier League leads the way by a distance with a value of £4.8bn, ahead of the Bundesliga (£2.8bn), La Liga (£2.7bn), Serie A (£2bn) and Ligue 1 (£1.5bn).
But England's top-flight clubs have shelled out £2.8bn of that revenue in wages - but that 59 per cent ratio is still only bettered by the Bundesliga (53 per cent).
At the other end of the scale, Ligue 1 wage bills hit £1.1bn, amounting to 75 per cent of their overall revenue - with Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille and Monaco primarily racking up the league's additional cost.
