The Foxes are ranked 20th in the top revenue earning clubs for last season in the Deloitte Football Money League. The club's Premier League winning season saw them report earnings of £128.7m - five times the figure generated two seasons ago. Manchester United top the rankings with earnings of £515.3m, which breaks the 11-year hold that Real Madrid had on top spot. Real Madrid come in third with £463.8m, behind bitter rivals Barcelona who posted figures a few thousand pounds more. Tim Bridge, senior manager at Deloitte, said: "The Money League continues to demonstrate the Premier League's financial strength in depth. The appearance of Leicester City shows that on-pitch success gives any Premier League team a chance of a position in the top 20. "With Leicester having already qualified for the last 16 in this year's UEFA Champions League competition, we can expect to see them maintain their position in the top 20 and potentially climb a few places."
