Real Madrid may open its ownership structure to outside investors for as much as 10 percent of the club during the assembly gathering, where thousands of member delegates convene to vote on statutes and examine financial records. President Florentino Perez has reportedly considered the proposal as a response to competitive pressures from rival European squads backed by sovereign wealth funds and billionaires, with sources confirming deliberations are underway.
The Spanish giant remains the sole football organization worldwide to surpass one billion euros in annual revenue, yet its traditional membership framework has created disadvantages when pursuing player acquisitions against competitors like Manchester City and Paris St Germain. Apollo's recent majority acquisition of Atletico Madrid demonstrates growing private equity appetite for soccer ventures driven by steady income streams.
Perez previously suggested a referendum on restructuring while maintaining member control, and Real has already partnered with Sixth Street on a 360 million euro stadium development deal spanning two decades.
