Florentino Pérez drops several bombs on the transfer window
La Casa Blanca has never lived up to its name so well. This season, Real Madrid has had another blank year. Unacceptable for a club of such a level and which brings together so many great players. To remedy this, Enrique Riquelme and Florentino Pérez, both candidates for the presidency, intend to bring new blood on and off the field. For the first mentioned, he promised to entrust sports management to Raul. He also plans to recruit stars, including Erling Haaland. In the opposite camp, we also have a well-crafted project. If Pérez is re-elected, José Mourinho will take his place on the bench. Although he announced that he had two coaches in mind, the Spanish businessman has already almost completed the Special One’s return to Madrid.
This will be made official if of course he remains in his post on Sunday June 7. Regarding the transfer market, Florentino Pérez has also moved his pawns into the shadows. Asked by El Español last night, he said: “This Thursday I will announce Real Madrid’s first major signing for next season. Everyone knows my sporting project: have the best players and continue to win. It could be Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool). As explained by us, the French central defender has reached a verbal agreement with the Merengues. Free, he should sign a 4-year lease. It could also be Denzel Dumfries. Last night, Fabrizio Romano revealed that a deal had been reached for the Inter player.
A recruit announced Thursday, others will follow
The residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium will pay their €20 million clause if Pérez is elected. This transfer was validated by Mourinho. But that’s not all. The president of Casa Blanca added: “we’ll have names before Sunday, don’t worry. No one doubts it, they know me. I have always generated enthusiasm during my 23 years as president. Those who know me know that the best players will be at Real Madrid and that we will win the Champions League.» Marcaadds that Florentino Pérez’s team has planned “at least five changes” and that“there will be new high-quality technical staff and significant reinforcements”. Defense and midfield are the club’s priorities. On the other hand, no movement in attack, where Endrick will have his chance.
“We have always looked for the best in each position. This has been the case for 26 years and our philosophy has not changed”said a club source to Marca. Pérez concluded his media outing by tackling the recruits promised by his opponent. “I think it’s good, although I don’t know if he spoke to him (Raúl). Agents are calling me saying that (Riquelme) is talking to the players and telling them: ‘Don’t say no.’ I don’t believe a word he says. He mentioned Rodri among the possible recruits, but obviously nothing has been done yet. Everything Riquelme says is like in that reality TV show “Todo es Mentera” (Everything is a lie). He pretends to come and save Real Madrid, and then he has to take out a loan at 54% interest for his company. It’s absurd.” Pérez still believes he is the man who can help Real Madrid dream bigger.
