Real Madrid are looking to plug several holes in their accounts this year from revenue streams expected to come from the Santiago Bernabeu. However, their parking project has been stopped, just like the concerts that were supposed to take place this year (due to noise pollution), and now the much-discussed SkyBar is also causing them problems.
The SkyBar was to be the most exclusive space at the Bernabeu, offering views of the pitch from above and containing a restaurant and club overlooking the Spanish capital. It was supposed to open in the summer, but that didn't happen and there's no update on when it might open.
According to El Confidencial (via MD), the catering company that contracted Los Blancos for the space is suing them for €16.5 million. Anastasia Gourmet was said to be allowed into the space six months ago and says it is causing millions in losses, of which €7 million relates to suppliers.
As mentioned above, Real Madrid is already dealing with a number of issues related to the renovation work at the Bernabeu. There is already talk that the loss of revenue opens the door for a big sale next summer. This Sunday, president Florentino Perez will address club members during the general meeting, and will then be able to discuss the issue.
