Not content with spending $400 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.

Perez says the park at Real's training ground out near the Spanish capital's Barajas airport, will reflect the club's history, legend and values,.

The construction magnate , who returned to the presidency in June after a three-year absence, also told club members he is planning extensive renovations to Real's Bernabeu stadium in central Madrid.
