Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez emphasizes the importance of club members in leadership while discussing his transfer strategy and star player futures amid the presidential elections.
The ongoing presidential elections at Real Madrid have been marked by intense discussions, with current president Florentino Pérez making headlines. In a conversation with TVE, Pérez reiterated that Real Madrid should remain a club governed by its members, highlighting the importance of this structure for the club's future. He asserted, "The only way to protect the club is by keeping power with the members. If one passes away, it should be handed down to their children." This comes amidst a competitive race with rival candidate Enrique Riquelme, whom Pérez subtly critiques, suggesting Riquelme's intentions might be more business-oriented.

A major decision awaiting the club post-elections is the appointment of a new coach, with JosĂ© Mourinho's name frequently mentioned. However, PĂ©rez clarified that no discussions have been held with Mourinho yet. In terms of player strategy, PĂ©rez expressed his desire to extend the contract of Vinicius JĂșnior and maintain top talents like Kylian MbappĂ© and Jude Bellingham. "These three, along with GĂŒler, Valverde, and Tchouameni, are the best players in the world," PĂ©rez stated, emphasizing his commitment to signing only the best.
The future of Luka Modric also came up, with reports suggesting he might retire soon. Pérez assured that Modric, a beloved figure among fans, is always welcome to return to Real Madrid, reflecting the club's enduring respect for him.
