Biggest shirt sponsorships in football with Man Utd No1 and Chelsea & Arsenal both in top 10
MANCHESTER UNITED had the most-lucrative shirt sponsorship contract in world football.
But, they will have to find someone else to decorate the front of their famous jersey.
United used to rake in £61million per year from American car giants Chevrolet.
The deal was worth £64m per season and was due to run until it ran out in 2021.
United then turned to US software firm TeamViewer who signed a five-year deal with the club worth a whopping £235million.
However, that will end after this campaign – with TeamViewer pulling the plug after they saw 70 per cent of their share price wiped off by their association with the club.
Real Madrid come in second, pocketing £60m a season from Fly Emirates.
Barcelona (Rakuten) and Paris Saint-Germain (Accor) come in third and fourth, earning £47m and £43m respectively.
An incredible five of the next six clubs hail from the Premier League.
