The Athletic newspaper revealed that Real Madrid is preparing to take an unprecedented step by opening the door for external investment and selling shares of the club to investors, marking a radical shift in ownership.

According to the report, President Florentino Perez believes that introducing external investors will help the club enhance its competitiveness against state-backed clubs like Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

Perez is set to present a detailed plan for this project during the club's upcoming general assembly, expected next month.

If the decision is implemented, it will be the first time in the history of the royal club that the door is opened for external investment, which could represent a turning point in the club's history specifically, and in La Liga and its clubs in general.

It is expected that the rest of the La Liga clubs will follow Real Madrid's lead, potentially changing the future of Spanish football entirely.
