The future of major football stadiums is currently under consideration. Real Madrid is contemplating various options, such as redeveloping their current stadium, which could cost £1bn, or constructing a new stadium with a potential price tag of £2bn.

They have recently expanded their capacity by 4,000 seats and made additional improvements. Meanwhile, their rival, Barcelona, has confirmed plans to increase the Camp Nou’s capacity to 105,000 in 2022.

They are currently using the Montjuic stadium for their matches while the renovations are underway. Despite the developments in Spain, it seems unlikely that Manchester United will move away from Old Trafford.

There have been suggestions that they will need to remain at their current stadium while building work takes place. Jim Ratcliffe has expressed admiration for both Real Madrid and Barcelona’s stadiums, acknowledging the need for the Premier League to match the standards set by its European counterparts.

Early talks are already underway regarding the future of Old Trafford, with the Red Devils exploring inspiration from the developments in Spain.
