Tottenham could bank £60m-plus jackpot within months – Exclusive
Tottenham are weeks away from reaping the rewards of their return to the Champions League.
Before Ange Postecoglou was sacked, Tottenham lifted the Europa League title to return to the biggest stage of club football this season.
Now under Thomas Frank, Spurs have enjoyed a decent start to life back in the Champions League, beating the likes of Copenhagen and Villarreal already.
Tottenham currently sit tenth in the league phase, one point behind the top eight and only four behind Bayern Munich, who are top of the pile with Harry Kane.
Tottenham in line for huge jackpot in Champions League
With four games played and four to go, Tottenham are in line to bank around £50million already.
Dan Plumley has revealed that it will get even better if Spurs finish in the top eight and secure instant progression to the round of 16.
The football finance expert shared that Tottenham would secure just under £10m from finishing in those top spots, even if they scrape through, possibly taking their jackpot to over £60m already.
“So, the starting fee is £16.4m,” Plumley exclusively told Tottenham News.
“It is £1.7m a win as well, and then the same bonuses apply if you finish first to eighth, you get an additional £1.7m. If you can get to the round of 16 and finish in the top eight, that can be really lucrative, as that is £9.7m per club.
“On top of what will be the thick end of £22m just in participation fees for being there, if you get to the round of 16, that’s £9.7m and the TV money on top.
“That’s how we get to some of those numbers, that even from a big Premier League in the Champions League, it’s worth about £50m before you’ve even kicked a ball, and if you get into the knockouts, it’s worth even more.
“Even on a conservative estimate, for getting into that top eight, Spurs would earn at least £61.9m.”
Who do Tottenham have left to play in the Champions League?
A trip to France to take on Paris Saint-Germain is up next for Tottenham, but Spurs will be confident after pushing them all the way in the UEFA Super Cup earlier this season.
Slavia Prague are next up in North London, while Bundesliga duo Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt finish off the group fixtures.
While not easy, the final three games certainly represent a brilliant opportunity to secure that extra windfall, with the Lewis family eager for sporting success, as well as financial.
