Liverpool are set to become the first football club in history to record pre-tax profits in excess of €100million (£88.2m) mark.
Jurgen Klopp’s men enjoyed a remarkable 2018 on and off the pitch, and are hoping 2019 will bring them silverware.
Experts are already predicting the Reds will announce a record-breaking profit to match the incredible numbers Mohamed Salah and co. have notched up on the pitch.
According to Inside World Football, reaching the Champions League Final in Kiev last season – and selling Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona for £142million – will help boost the club’s profits in their accounts for the 2017-18 season, which will be submitted to Company House in early March.
The run to the final against Real Madrid alone earned the Merseysiders a reported €81.3m (£71.7m). Having not competed in Europe’s elite competition the previous season, the financial growth will be huge.
The current pre-tax profits record for a football club is held by Leicester City, who enjoyed their first and only campaign in the Champions League after their miraculous Premier League title-winning season.
They posted a record-breaking figure of £92.5million for the 2016-17 season after reaching the quarter-final.
However, UEFA appear to ahve already let slip the Foxes’ figure will be beaten by the current Premier League leaders.
In their Club Licensing Benchmarking Report for the financial year 2017, UEFA mentioned Liverpool are set to break Leicester’s record-breaking profits in the coming year.
