How much money will new Bernabéu bring to Real Madrid?

The roadmap for Real Madrid is clear: invest first and then reap the rewards. This strategy has been the general approach of the club, not only in terms of transfers - evident in the acquisition of young talents like Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Endrick - but also in the construction of the new stadium. While some details still need a little polishing before the works at the Santiago Bernabéu are considered complete, the club is already looking ahead with anticipation to the potential future income it brings.

Real Madrid to add $111,000,000 per season

According to Vozpópuli, Los Blancos, in collaboration with the Sixth Street fund, anticipates a significant rise in revenue, projected to reach 100 million euros (c. $1.11m) per season in the future.

The new project promises substantial economic returns, with calculations pointing to the 2024-25 season as the starting point. This is when the Bernabéu will be fully operational and with its complete capacity. As of now, the works are not yet finished, and Madrid is pushing through the summer to accelerate the process. However, it’s anticipated that the stadium will only be fully functional by mid-2024, necessitating some patience.

The projected income will be generated through various means.

Apart from the expected increase in ticket sales from the football, other streams will significantly contribute to the overall sum. The Bernabéu will become a hub for numerous major musical shows and events organised in the Spanish capital, providing ample financial benefits to the club. After deducting the annual payment of interest for the construction works and the corresponding rights paid to Sixth Street, the club sees the investment proving very wise as they continue their quest for more silverware each year.
