Real Madrid president Florentino Perez wants to make the Santiago Bernabeu 'the best stadium in the world' after unveiling plans for its redevelopment.
The estimated 400million euro (£328million) revamp will be led by German architects GMP along with international firm L-35 and Catalan firm Ribas & Ribas following an international tender process.
A new exterior will be built, and from the mock-ups shown on Friday, a retractable roof will also be included in the project which will take three years to complete.

By Chimaobi Jose Nzoromobi  Warri billionaire businessman and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Chief Ayiri Emami, has revealed he advised former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick, not to locate the FIFA Forward Project stadium in Ugborodo, Delta State. In a video currently trending on social media, Chief Emami said his advice was based purely on practical and economic reasons that could have affected the timely and cost-effective completion of the project. He noted that the logistical challenges and high cost of transporting construction materials and equipment to Ugborodo made it less suitable for such project given the amount available.

Chief Emami stressed that his position was guided by developmental reasoning and the need to ensure the project’s success, rathe...
