🚨 Pérez: On Tuesday, I'll bid over €150m for a Champions League star | OneFootball

“I’m going to make an offer of more than 150 million for a Champions League player on Tuesday,” Florentino Pérez revealed tonight. “It would be the highest amount of money Real Madrid would pay for a transfer in its history,” he said.

Florentino Pérez gave some clues: he does not play in the Premier League but he does play in the Champions League, and he plays in midfield or attack. “It’s not Haaland or Kane either. You’re not going to guess it,” he confessed to Iker Jiménez.

He also said that he will sign Denzel Dumfries if he is ultimately re-elected as Real Madrid president.

The acting president appeared on television to be interviewed by Iker Jiménez on the program 'Horizonte' and repeated, point by point, the arguments he had already expressed at the press conference in which he announced the calling of elections.

“Everyone has denied the Haaland story, so this candidacy must be a bluff,” he commented regarding the announcement by his rival in the election, Enrique Riquelme.

“Criticism doesn’t hurt me. What hurts me is that these people want to influence Madrid, and Riquelme’s father was one of them.”

“No one has won more than me”

“Infighting at Real Madrid is very normal, it has happened every year. What is not normal is for someone to leak it.”

“You don’t always win, but I have won 66 titles in the years I have been president. No one has won more European Cups than me.”

“Mourinho was very important, he gave us the competitiveness we needed, and when he left, we won the Champions League.”

“According to Forbes, the club is worth 10 billion euros. When I came in, we didn’t even have enough to pay the wages.”

“All players want to come and play for Real Madrid. We have 15 Champions Leagues; the best want to be here.”

“They say I want to sell the club, and it makes me sick. These people don’t know what it means to go to the stadium with your father at the age of 4.

“When I saw that the club was heading down the wrong path, I decided to run for president. I put up guarantees, and the financial problems were over.”
