Mourinho inbound? Real Madrid chief promised bombshell; find out when | OneFootball

Amid the uncertainty surrounding Mourinho’s arrival, the presidential elections at Real Madrid are drawing closer, and Florentino Pérez continues to strengthen his campaign to remain at the helm of Los Blancos. In an interview with the newspaper El Español, the current president of the Madrid club promised news in the coming days and responded to the criticism made by candidate Enrique Riquelme.

“This Thursday I will announce Real Madrid’s first major signing for next season. Everyone knows my sporting project: to have the best players and keep winning,” said Florentino Pérez, who is seeking to secure another term as club president. The executive also took the opportunity to reject Enrique Riquelme’s accusations, as he has been pointing to Real Madrid’s financial situation, alleging a worrying level of debt.

“If the other candidate says we are in debt and, even so, we are the richest club in the world, what can be said about the other Spanish clubs? It is false that a reassessment of the loan related to the renovation of the Santiago Bernabéu is necessary. That loan has an interest rate of under 3% and is paid annually through the revenue generated by the stadium,” he began by explaining.

Florentino Pérez went further and assured that the investment made in the iconic venue continues to prove highly profitable: “We pay around 60 million euros a year for the Santiago Bernabéu, but we can do so because the new seats alone generated revenue of around 150 million euros. I represent the members and, just as I do in my company, I defend their interests. I work every day to ensure that this asset remains at the service of Real Madrid,” he added.
