Revenue, before player sales, follows the same idea, but uses the league’s total only where under half the division publishes.
Revenue in Spain
A typical LaLiga club earns 5.5× a Segunda División club’s revenue
Each dot is a club’s revenue before player sales, from its latest recorded accounts. The white mark is the median: the club in the middle.

How it’s counted & sources
Each club's newest recorded accounts since 2021–22, at the tier it played that season. If that year's revenue cannot be separated from player trading, the club is omitted rather than using an older year. Coverage counts comparable accounts, not every club with financial data. Revenue excludes player-sale income. Where that income is included in the published total, we subtract the statement's separately reported player-trading figure. Some statements group loan fees and other player income with sale gains; those are removed together. Otherwise loan fees remain included. These are comparisons across accounting formats, not identical revenue definitions. Tiers need at least three clubs to appear and six for a median. Each step on the scale is ten times the one before.
