Florentino Pérez Re-elected Real Madrid President

His victory gives him the authority to bring back José Mourinho, push for a €150 million 'galáctico' signing and seek to sell about 5% of the club’s capital in a socios' referendum.

Overview

  • Pérez won a new four-year term in elections held over the weekend, securing roughly 60–70% of socios' votes and beating challenger Enrique Riquelme.
  • He confirmed José Mourinho will return as head coach and the club has announced the imminent arrivals of Ibrahima Konaté and Denzel Dumfries.
  • Pérez said he will table an offer of €150 million for a headline signing; Spanish media name Michael Olise as the likeliest target but that move has not been confirmed by Real Madrid and Bayern’s president has publicly said Olise is not for sale.
  • The president plans to open the club’s capital by selling about 5%, a proposal that will require a formal socios' referendum and has already provoked internal opposition from roughly a third of voters.
  • Mourinho’s priorities are reported to be defensive reinforcements and holding key midfielders such as Aurélien Tchouameni, but transfer plans may be constrained by selling clubs’ refusals and tough negotiations ahead.
