Manchester City have announced club-record revenues of £715million in their latest annual accounts, alongside profits of £73.8m.
City’s revenue has grown £2.3m since last year, while their profit is down slightly on the £80.4m they posted from the club’s treble-winning campaign, which was boosted significantly by prize money from winning the Champions League.
The report also highlights that City have made £405m in player sales over the past five years. That includes £139m for the current period — up until June 30 2024 — an increase on the £121.7m from the previous year. This, the club says, has driven the club’s profits.
Matchday revenue has also risen £3.7m to £75.6m, despite playing five fewer home matches compared to the treble-winning season.
Earlier this year, supporters campaigned against rising ticket prices, with many calling for season ticket price freezes at a time when City’s finances are thriving.
The club also say City’s men’s and women’s teams in 2023-24 were watched by an audience of 694 million across all competitions while the club’s social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube and TikTok, reached more than 10 billion people.
