Real Madrid Details Plan to Permit Up to 10% Minority Investment

Members will vote at an extraordinary assembly on creating a club-controlled subsidiary to sell a small stake to long-term investors.

Overview

  • Club president Florentino Pérez told members the proposal would allow, for example, a 5% stake and no more than 10%, with Real Madrid retaining absolute control.
  • Pérez said the move would bring in long-term investors who contribute their own resources and would serve as a clear signal of the club’s market value.
  • The plan would introduce outside capital for the first time at the member-owned club and, according to Pérez, could enable paying dividends to socios under the new structure.
  • Supporters interviewed expressed mixed views, with some warning of diluting the club’s identity and others calling the limited stake a pragmatic business step.
  • No transaction has been executed, as the statutory reform must first be approved at an extraordinary assembly, and Pérez reiterated that investors must respect the club’s values.
