the 66,000 square metre project was instigated in 2018 and will cost the club an approximate €400 million (approximately $436 million). the point of the renovations is to accommodate the 81,000 capacity that will be added to the event. several shops, restaurants, and a hotel will be added to the building, as well as a retractable roof.

features include a retractable roof, similar to the principality stadium in cardiff, which will protect the pitch from all elements. the spanish giants have been allowed to continue the redevelopment of the stadium – which will reduce the capacity by one.
