Everton must step up their assault on the top six next season as changes to the distribution of television money come into force.
The Blues pocketed £128.6m in Premier League prize money this term with the bulk of the earnings coming from their share of the lucrative TV rights deal.
Sky and BT Sport paid £5.1bn for the domestic rights to 168 live games a season across 2016-19 while the overseas deal brought in another £3bn.
Everton once again took their slice from parts of the Premier League pot this season, banking £34.36m in equal share, £4.9m from central commercial and £43.1m from the international TV.
But an agreement made at the 2018 Premier League AGM last June means that not all of the international TV revenue in the new three year deal will be shared equally.
The Premier League is understood to have negotiated an improved £4bn deal for the next three year cycle.
All 20 clubs are still to take an equal slice of the first £3bn - the value of the previous agreement - of the new arrangement but the remaining fund will be based on league position.
Merit payments, based on league finish, are already part of the Premier League prize fund, while facility fees are based on the number of live games a club has.
But the distribution of the extra £1bn from the international TV market favours the leading sides in the division who have a stranglehold on the top six with the fear that the rich clubs become richer.
Everton, who finished eighth in Marco Silva's first term, are aiming to muscle their way into top six next season and take a greater share of the extra income from the new international TV deal.
The re-negotiated domestic TV rights deals, which include 200 live games, has fallen to £5bn.
