Real Madrid are targeting revenue close to €1.4bn this season, after posting €1.221bn in 2025-26 and setting a budget of €1.248bn for the current campaign.
Bernabéu remains the main source of income
The Santiago Bernabéu and the Valdebebas training complex sit at the centre of the club’s financial model. Real hope to push commercial income from the stadium to €420.1m, with full use of its facilities still on the agenda and new updates on that area possible in January.
Sponsorship also carries weight in the club’s plans. Real expect commercial partnership income to rise by 22%, helped by new agreements with Adidas and Emirates, plus work with Hotels.com and Uber Eats and renewals with Orange and San Miguel.
Valdebebas sales add another stream
The academy at Valdebebas has become another source of income. Departures involving Gonzalo García, César Palacios, Nico Paz, Jacobo Ortega and Victor Muñoz form part of that strategy, and Real have set player-sale income at about €154.8m for the current financial year.
The club also says its marketing budget for next season is €534m. Total spending on the Bernabéu rebuild has reached about €1.4bn.
Costs stay within Uefa limits
Wages and contract amortisation are said to total around €700m, but personnel costs still stand at 46% of revenue. Uefa sets a 70% sustainability ceiling and treats 50% as a preferred benchmark, leaving Real below both figures.
The figures will go to a vote at the members' assembly on 21 November.
