[Saba Sports News] Recently, Real Madrid officially released its mid-season financial report. The club’s total debt currently stands at around 1.78 billion euros, and its cash balance as of December 31, 2025 was 3.4 million euros. However, six months ago at the end of the previous fiscal year, this figure was 175.8 million euros. The sharp drop in cash reserves occurred in the first half of this season, during which the club invested heavily in the renovation of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and player signings. In the first half of this season, Real Madrid’s turnover was 571 million euros, a decrease of 18.5 million euros compared to the same period in 2024. Total operating revenue reached 613 million euros, compared with 636 million euros in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The decline in revenue was mainly due to lower store sales, the absence of concerts, and minor adjustments to the sponsorship portfolio. Among the turnover, stadium-related income reached 152 million euros, an increase of nearly 3 million euros compared to the same period last year.
The editor believes that the reduction in cash is due to investments in the stadium and players, and spending is usually higher than revenue in the first half of each season. Even so, Real Madrid had only €3.4 million in cash in early 2026, a stark contrast to €61 million in early 2025 and €190 million in 2024.
