ARSENAL have banked £124million in Uefa appearance and prize money alone for their run to the Champions League final.
Mikel Arteta’s men will travel to Budapest for European football’s biggest game having already made a fortune.
And a victory at the Puskas Arena will be worth a further minimum £9m as it would earn the Gunners a place in next August’s Uefa Super Cup – potentially against Aston Villa or Nottingham Forest – in Salzburg.
The semi-final victory over Atletico Madrid followed on from their perfect league phase and progression through to the last four.
It means the Gunners have earned £75.4m on the pitch so far in addition to the £49.6m they had earned before kicking a ball.
Winning this month’s final will add a further £5.6m to the Arsenal pot, while they will also bank £3.4m for earning their place in Austria on August 12.
