Manchester City and Chelsea make a big profit in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup

With the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in full swing in the United States, Premier League giants Manchester City and Chelsea have gained a lot of money in the event with their outstanding performance.

According to the BBC, Manchester City is the team that has won the most prizes from this event so far, with an estimated revenue of about £37.8 million. This figure is thanks to their complete victory in the group stage, demonstrating their strong strength as the defending champion.

And another Premier League team, Chelsea, also made a big profit from it, and they have reportedly received a prize of about £33.8 million. However, due to an unexpected loss to Brazilian team Flamenco in the group stage, the Blues missed an additional reward of nearly £1.5 million.

Starting from the knockout stage, the deeper each team advances, the winnings will gradually increase. If both Manchester City and Chelsea can pass the quarter-finals successfully, they will each receive another £9.6 million in rewards. If you can continue to move forward, the amount of bonus will continue to rise.

For the two teams that have invested a lot in the transfer market this summer, this bonus will undoubtedly play a role in alleviating financial pressure. Take Chelsea as an example. They had previously spent £30 million to sign Ipswich striker Liam Drapp, and now they have basically recovered the cost of signing.

If the Blues can go further in this tournament, they are expected to make up for another recruitment expenditure - about £29 million to introduce Palmeiras star Estevao William.

As for Manchester City, they invested £31 million in the transfer market this summer to sign Wolves left-back Art Nuri, who performed well against Juventus on June 27, helping the team win 5-2. This recruitment fee has also been covered by the event bonus.

In addition, the £30.5 million transfer fee paid by Manchester City to sign Lyon striker Cherki is also expected to be compensated after the team advances to the semi-finals.

If you eventually win this Club World Cup, Manchester City is even expected to offset the high spending (£59 million) when signing Dutch midfielder Reindez from AC Milan.

Next, Chelsea will usher in the 1/8 finals against Benfica in the early morning of June 29, while Manchester City will face Saudi team Riyadh Crescent on July 1. Fans will wait and see if the two Premier League powerhouses can continue to have a bumper harvest in both the arena and the economy.
