Press reports reveal that Real Madrid is experiencing a delicate financial situation despite its recent sporting stability. According to the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo', the club, under the presidency of Florentino Perez, has debts amounting to approximately 1.78 billion euros, amidst challenges related to financing the renovation of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.

The report indicated that these conditions come at a time when La Liga has recorded record revenues, yet Real Madrid suffers from a working capital deficit of 406 million euros, reflecting short-term financial pressures.

Among the most negative indicators revealed by the report is the sharp decline in cash liquidity, which did not exceed 3.4 million euros by the end of December 2025, compared to 175.8 million euros just six months earlier. This is alongside a decrease in net profits to 5.2 million euros, a drop of nearly 80%, due to a 26.2% increase in salary costs, reaching 318.9 million euros.

The club's revenues also declined during the first half of the 2025/2026 season, amounting to 571.3 million euros, a decrease of 18.5 million euros compared to the same period the previous year, with a notable decline in commercial revenues, stores, stadium tours, and events.

According to the same source, financial expenses increased by 10%, with the club resorting to using credit lines worth 475 million euros to cover its needs, while the total debts, including the stadium renovation financing, reached approximately 1.78 billion euros, reflecting a sensitive financial situation that requires careful management in the upcoming period.
