The CIES Football Observatory presented in its latest weekly update the 100 most profitable clubs with the most profitable youth sector in the world over the last ten years.
Not surprisingly, Anderlecht is the best-ranked Belgian club. Only players who have been at the club for at least three years between the ages of 15 and 21 are taken into account in the calculation.
With €516 million in revenue over that period, Benfica is by far the club with the most profitable youth system. Known for its youth sector and above all for its ability to scout young talent, Benfica stands out from the others. Joao Félix (127.2 million euros), Ruben Dias (71.60 million euros) and Goncalo Ramos (65 million euros) earned important sums for the Portuguese club.
Behind the great Benfica we find Ajax (376 million euros) and Olympique Lyonnais (370 million euros) on the podium. Real Madrid (364 million euros) and Chelsea (347 million euros) complete the top 5.
Three Belgian clubs are in this ranking and it is no coincidence that Anderlecht (179 million euros) is in the lead, in a good 25th place. Many talents have emerged from Neerpede in recent years, including Youri Tielemans (25 million euros at Monaco in 2017) and Jérémy Doku (26 million euros at Rennes in 2020).
Below this we find Club Brugge in 77th place and Standard Liège in 78th place.
