Historic on the pitch, PSG’s 2024-2025 season was also historic on the economic level. With revenues which reached 837 million euros during the last financial year marked by obtaining its first Champions League, the capital club presented a record turnover and recorded an increase of 31 million euros compared to the previous season. PSG is pleased with this year, described as incredible internally, which will have been greatly driven by the excellent results of Luis Enrique’s men in national and international competitions.
The distribution of the gains is as follows: Paris Saint-Germain notably increased its commercial revenues to 367 million euros and its ticketing revenues linked to matches to 175 million euros, or 7 times more than in 2010-2011, during the last season preceding the arrival of QSI. PSG was also able to count on a significant influx of money thanks to its run this summer at the Club World Cup. Finalist in the competition, the Parisian club was able to include in its season results the winnings obtained up to the quarter-final (46 million euros). The rest will appear in that of the 2025-2026 financial year.
Sales of derivative products and exclusive collections have also reached historic levels: sales in the online store have increased by + 210% since the start of the season, and those in physical stores by + 90%. The launch of the 2025-2026 home jersey recorded an increase of almost +40% compared to the previous record.
A payroll less than 65% of its turnover
Despite falling national TV rights, which have a significant impact on turnover (around 30% this season compared to last year according to PSG), and the absence of income linked to a possible tour abroad, the results remain exceptional for PSG. On a European scale, such figures would have allowed it, for comparison, to be last season the second club to have generated the highest turnover, behind Real Madrid. Ultimately, managers hope to make PSG the leading sports franchise in the world.
This development demonstrates, in any case, the success of the “solid and sustainable” economic model put in place for several years. This results, in particular, in a significant drop in the payroll: formerly greater than 111% of its turnover, it is now less than 65%. Enough to allow it to be in compliance with UEFA and financial fair play, in particular thanks to the departure of the three stars Neymar, Messi and Mbappé.
After receiving a fine of €65 million (including €10 to be paid immediately) three years ago, Paris respected the rule relating to team-related costs and staff costs (salaries, transfers, etc.) were below 70% of the club’s revenue. Internally, we are pleased to have been ahead of the objectives set by the European control body.
The club is now in a third phase of development, that of balance, with the main objective of perpetuating this economic success. Because, in terms of revenue and expenditure, PSG still remains in deficit. While losses amounted to 60 million euros during the previous financial year, they are less significant in 2024-2025. The club does not yet have a positive net result but it explains that it is on a very good trend to ultimately aim for a sustainable balance.
