Rafa Benitez who was once their manager decried the state of the club as well as questioned their ambition and urge them to fight for laurels. However, the club, at the time (2015) generated €169.3 million in revenues, the 17th highest in the world. Nevertheless, on October 2021, the management of the club was purchased by a consortium overseen by the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia for a fee of £300 million.
