Real Madrid 5% Stake Proposal to Outside Investors

Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has announced a rare proposal: the club may sell up to 5% of its ownership to external investors. The plan was revealed during the club’s annual general meeting on Sunday, marking one of the most significant structural changes discussed under Pérez’s leadership.

According to the president, Real Madrid would remain a member-owned club. Instead, the team would create a new subsidiary in which outside investors could buy a symbolic minority stake – expected to be between 5-10%. To make this possible, the club must reform its statutes, a move that will require approval at an extraordinary general meeting.

Real Madrid 5% Stake Proposal: Protecting Tradition While Seeking New Capital

Pérez told members that any investor must respect Real Madrid’s values and traditions. He said the goal is not to hand over sporting control, but to bring in partners who can strengthen the club financially while preserving its identity. He reassured socios that the membership body would remain in charge of the club’s big decisions.

The president argued that selling a small stake is “the clearest and most compelling way to value our club,” pointing to Madrid’s success on and off the pitch.

He said that if investors are willing to pay a large sum for a symbolic share, it proves Real Madrid’s global value and reflects confidence in its long-term project.
