The Country’s Richest Clubs Without Trophies
Representatives RFU Midyear, they publish financial reports. This doesn’t necessarily have to be a calendar year. The latest release is from May 30, 2025, which allows you to evaluate the clubs’ actions RPL And get a complete picture of what’s going on. Club Report Features RPL – The data was audited in accordance with international football regulations. The main conclusion after reviewing the new document is that the two richest clubs were left without trophies.
In preparation for the anniversary year, 25 billion rubles were invested in Zenit. Twenty-five billion spent almost a penny. At today’s exchange rate, this figure represents approximately 275 million euros. According to the popular report of international auditors, this figure puts Zenit in 20th place in the world in terms of spending, overtaking Lyon, where the American owner has ended financial problems. St. Petersburg spent more money than Napoli, Roma, and Benfica.
Napoli, Conte won the Italian championship; the team will return to the Champions League, where part of the investments will be used. Zenit’s “Commercial Income” column lists 21 billion rubles. It’s clear that this isn’t just money from advertising, TV rights sales, and match-day revenue. Zenit’s players and coaches should thank the club’s owners; they consistently find ways to bring money into the club, just like the Sheikhs do at Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain.
Zenit isn’t richer than Milan, Inter, and Juventus, but RPL Billions of euros don’t turn over, like in Serie A. It’s impressive that they raised costs so much in difficult times. It’s also impressive that Lukoil spent 13.3 billion rubles on Spartak after Fedun’s departure. The Red and Whites invested over 150 million euros in the Stankovich project because there were winter expenses that couldn’t be taken into account now. But the results are no better than those of Zenit Semak. Football Club

Last year, the report also included a significant replenishment in this column. Simply put, Galitsky found a way to legally add resources to the club, although this wasn’t purely commercial income, as Krasnodar didn’t play in the Champions League, where a good bonus could bring in money.

Musaev’s team spent 7.3 billion rubles, ahead of Zenit, where 24.7 billion rubles were spent, and Spartak, where total spending rose to 13.3 billion rubles. Other Moscow clubs also spent more than Krasnodar.

Russian Premier League 13 billion in profits, Spartak has 2.6 billion in pre-tax debt. It will be more difficult for Stankovich to get the money for starters, and Musaev has a stockpile of about 14 million euros. Of course, the money will mainly go to player salaries, but if you competently find a new club, you can make a lot of money. The situation for other wealthy people is much worse. Zenit’s owners will again have to figure out how to get two tens of billion rubles to the club, and Spartak must pay off its debts and simultaneously declare its income from the fairy tale.

not included in the “big” of the richest, amounted to just under 25 billion rubles – roughly the same amount was invested in Zenit per year. A striking difference.

I don’t need to remind you that this team won Spartak’s victory. Money plays a role in football. Dynamo’s excellent budgets in recent years have made the Muscovites stronger. Now they need to convince Karpin and try to repeat Krasnodar’s path: it’s important to fight for the title in the final round. And here CSKA where they spent on agents but didn’t sign any good starters, close to losing
head coach Nikolich. At the same time, the club’s total costs are high, less than 90 million euros.
