Manchester City believe they are becoming the benchmark for Europe’s biggest clubs as they target an era of “unprecedented” success, the club’s chairman has declared.
The Premier League champions announced on Monday that they have posted the second highest turnover in English football history, at £613m, in part thanks to a remarkable rise in commercial revenue.
Recording profits of £41.7m, City said that their commercial takings were worth £309.4m - a 14% year-on-year increase - after announcing more than a dozen new sponsorship deals. Turnover was also boosted by the return of supporters to stadiums following the pandemic.
