Real Madrid have budgeted approximately €707 million for sporting salaries and transfer-fee amortisation during the 2026-27 season, the highest figure in club history. Forecast total income is expected to reach €1.405 billion.

According to financial publication 2Playbook, the spending increase follows major signings, contract renewals and investment across the club’s sporting sections. Madrid project roughly €420 million in stadium-related revenue and €155 million from player sales. The €707 million budget includes wages and amortisation rather than salaries alone. Management forecasts approximately €14 million in profit, with members expected to review the financial plans at the upcoming general assembly.
