Barcelona expects record €897-million turnover

Barcelona - Boosted by Neymar's world record move to Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona are set to smash the record turnover for a football club with an €897-million income for the 2017-18 season, the club announced on Wednesday.

"The board have approved a budget for the 2017-18 season that reflects an expected record income of €897 million," said Barca spokesman Josep Vives.

The figure is up nearly €200 million on the €708-million turnover Barca posted last year.

Neymar joined PSG last month for €222 million.

Barca's growth remains well on course to reach their target turnover of one billion euros by 2021.
