Reading about the debts Madrid face and there was a small quote about Perez wanting to build a theme park. Looked into it and found this story.

MADRID (Reuters) - Not content with spending 250 million euros ($368 million) on players over the summer, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is now planning to build a Disney-style theme park about the La Liga club.
The park, which would be at Real's training ground out near the Spanish capital's Barajas airport, will "reflect our history, legend and values," Perez said at the club's general assembly Sunday.
Construction magnate Perez, who returned to the presidency in June after a three-year absence, also told club members he was planning extensive renovations to Real's Bernabeu stadium in central Madrid.
