Santiago Bernabeu's renovation between three and four years to finish

REAL MADRID are hoping to begin the renovatio project to update the Bernabeu before the end of the year.

The Spanish giants have bold plans to revamp their famous stadium, with the expectation that it could take up to four years to be completed.

But in order to get the updates underway, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez will need to ge permission from club partners for credit to cover the costs, according to Marca .

A new, retractable roof is the major structural difference proposed, while the exterior will be converted to a classy, silver metallic skin.

There are also plans to install a 360-degree video screen is designed to enhance the fans' matchday experience as well as overhaul the private boxes and replace one of the car parks with a space for fans to mingle together before entering the ground.

The entire project will reportedly cost the club a whopping £500million, which according to the Express will plunge Real Madrid into debt for 35 years, and will not see an increase to the 81,044 capacity, but will boost the height by ten metres.

Plans for the renovation were approved by the Commission for Sustainable Urban Development of the City of Madrid in May 2017.

“This stadium will act as an economic and touristic invigorator and will contribute to strengthening the image of our city.”
