Real Madrid legends show support to Florentino Perez ahead of presidential elections | OneFootball

With just nine days remaining before the presidential elections at Real Madrid, the campaign of Florentino Perez has gained further momentum through a growing wave of public endorsements from some of the most recognizable figures in the club’s recent history.

The 79-year-old businessman finds himself going up against Enrique Riquelme in what will be the first contested elections at Real Madrid in 20 years.

Real Madrid legends endorse Perez

In recent days, former Real Madrid icons such as Ronaldo, Santiago Solari, and Roberto Carlos have also publicly backed Perez’s candidacy.

The latter two’s support carries additional significance because both remain employed by the club in various capacities, making their involvement particularly notable during an election period.

Now, the latest names to join that list are Casemiro, Pepe, and Lucas Vazquez, all of whom publicly expressed their support for Perez through Instagram stories.

Their messages add to a campaign that is increasingly relying on the emotional connection between former club legends and the Real Madrid fanbase.

They follow fellow Los Blancos’ legend, Karim Benzema, who was among the first ones to express support for Perez’s campaign on social media ahead of the impending elections.

A campaign built on legacy

As election day approaches, Florentino Perez’s campaign is increasingly emphasizing its connection to the club’s recent golden era.

The endorsements from Casemiro, Vazquez, Benzema, Pepe, Roberto Carlos, Solari and Ronaldo highlight the strong relationships the current president has maintained with many former players and club figures throughout his tenure.

Whether those public displays of support will influence the final outcome remains to be seen, but the message being projected is clear: many of the players who helped shape Real Madrid’s most successful years continue to stand behind the man who led the club through them.
