The Real Madrid plans not to return to the Santiago Bernabéu until the public does. The Madrid team’s plans go through play at Alfredo di Stéfano the rest of the season, but they could continue until the total restrictions are lifted that allow the Madrid stadium to be seen full again. With this, they would significantly advance the deadlines of the works and save on their costs.
As OKDIARIO exclusively announced, the club will end the League, should it resume, at the subsidiary’s stadium. The Bernabéu has accelerated the works during the state of alarm due to the coronavirus and, instead of stopping them in summer for the competition to resume, they will play in Valdebebas the remaining 11 days. They also want it to be this way in the Champions League, if they manage to get past the round of 16.
However, as long as the technical conditions allow it and if they manage to adapt to the situation of not playing in their usual fiefdom, the Madrid team plans to continue like this for as long as restrictions on the public last. Once back to normal, crowds in large events will continue to be prohibited, so they will continue to play behind closed doors.
The 2020-2021 season will also start without an audience and there are still no forecasts to know when they will see full stadiums again. There are those who already talk that throughout 2020 the stadiums will remain empty and Madrid’s intentions are that all that time, the Bernabéu is also closed.
The Madrid team will be able to bring forward the deadlines for the remodeling of its stadium. At the moment, a large part of the bleachers cover has already been removed, in the first of the steps prior to the installation of the new retractable roof.
In addition to shorten the waiting time to see the new Bernabéu, The whites would save costs about what was originally budgeted and regarding having to open the stadium for the closed-door dispute of the first team matches. The club would thus avoid having to be stopping the works when the competition returns and resuming them during their breaks. With the coronavirus crisis, the costs of the works have been reduced, also allowing the club to save a significant sum.
