In the 2015-2016 season, Barca achieved a revenue of 782.7 million. At that time, many people thought this was the highest number that the Catalan team could achieve.
The revenue that Real Madrid, Barca's arch-rivals, announced last October was only 714.6 million. This does not include player sales.
Barca's revenue could increase even more next season. The team has a new shirt sponsor contract with Japanese e-commerce group Rakuten, worth 63.4 million per season. The contract with Rakuten is higher than the old contract signed with Qatar Airways./.
