Overview
- Real Madrid disclosed on July 28 that operating revenue for 2025–26 reached €1.221 billion, a 3.1% rise from the prior year and the club says this is the highest operating revenue recorded by any sports organisation.
- The club reported a €26 million profit after tax, marking its 26th consecutive profitable year, while noting that the operating revenue figure excludes player transfer income.
- Stadium revenue rose 11% to €363 million and marketing income grew after renewals with Adidas and Emirates plus a new deal with HP, which the club says underpins its commercial strength.
- Real Madrid recorded staff costs of about €618 million and spent close to €170 million on transfers in the period while transfer receipts were roughly €40 million, and the club has sold more than $115 million of academy players this summer to help fund activity.
- Media outlets report the club is close to finalising the signing of Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig for a fee reported above €100 million, a move that would be part of a wider squad remodel backed by the club’s commercial gains.
