Computer giant Microsoft has confirmed that it is in talks with Real Madrid over acquiring the naming rights for the Santiago Bernabeu.

The American computer company were first reported to be in preliminary talks with Los Blancos last month to sponsor the planned renovation of their stadium.

And the head of Microsoft’s Spanish division confirm that rumoured talks were underway.



However, Maria Gahan, head of Microsoft Spain, has now revealed that Madrid are keen to sell the naming rights for their home ground to the highest bidder.

"They have offered us, and other companies, the possibility of renaming the stadium,” she told Antena 3.

“We’re in talks, and that sums up where we are."

Emirates Airlines are also rumoured to be in negotiations with Real Madrid over naming rights for the Bernabeu.
