In the shadow of Mr. Musk's SpaceX IPO (#1496896, #1501767, #1503733) we, the prosperous Europeans, are selling... football clubs!
I mean, duh... together with our monuments and museums (and boomer retirement homes) it's all we have
At Real Madrid, the injection of outside investment could underpin Pérez’s claim that the club is worth $10bn, a figure he says could double under his renewed presidency. That would demonstrate to loyal socios that by backing expensive expansion plans, including the redevelopment of the club’s Bernabéu stadium, they have enhanced their club’s value.
Usually, fandom-type investments (bonds or equity) are done with the heart rather than the brain... bonds at lower rates, equity at insane valuations. Plus: "sports clubs’ financial success will never assuage fans’ irritation if the team fails consistently on the field."
Credit to Pérez for declaring upfront that billionaire would-be “owners” will receive only “the satisfaction of having a relationship” with Real Madrid. But if I were a socio, I would be afraid that seasoned investors might see their symbolic stake as just the first step in a longer-term plan. After all, most billionaires got to where they are today by being able to bury their emotions in favour of making a return.

Mou's back, everything's under control!
Are you sure? Obviously he'll get a trophy, but copa del Rey looks like the destiny
Obviously, I'm not sure about anything! 😂
Perez already said he had €150M set aside for a top-class player (Haaland?). I only see the Champions League as the end goal, Mou doesn't settle for anything less! ~lol
Looks like the target is Olise
It would really shok me if they had a winning season, maybe a la Liga playing the horrible style of Mou
Maybe

Mou’s always a wildcard, he’s kinda different now!
Bayern already said more than once he's not for sale, but it's Madrid
It’s all about the price! I wasn’t super clear earlier, Perez said 'at least €150M'!
But the thing is he's under contract, and Bayern has "control" hard to see a blooming star sitting out to force his way, contract until 29
