Spanish giant Real Madrid leads the Top 10 of European Football's Most Valuable Kits as they managed to sign the most lucrative kit makers deal (Adidas - €42.7m), and the most lucrative shirt sponsor deal (Fly Emirates - €30m).
Champions League winners FC Barcelona scoop €30m / year from Qatar Airways and €33m / Nike, closely followed by Bayern Munich who earn at least €55m / year. However, it's expected that Bayern Munich will top the table soon after they signed a record-breaking kit deal with Adidas worth approximately €60m / season.
The Top 3 are followed by Paris Saint-Germain and the Italian clubs AC Milan, Juventus and Inter. Wolfsburg, Zenit and Dortmund also made it in the Top 10 of Europe's Most Valuable Kits. Please note that the data are not accurate, so there are likely missing some clubs.
