Real Madrid votes on Pérez, Riquelme banks on change
Real Madrid members today are deciding the presidential election between incumbent Florentino Pérez and businessman Enrique Riquelme. The vote is the first such contest in roughly two decades and is also seen as a referendum on Pérez's leadership after a difficult season. SITA ↗
Pérez, who has held the position since 2009, called early elections and is seeking to confirm his mandate for another term. Part of his campaign is also his project to sell a five-percent stake in the club. Riquelme is running as a young challenger and presents an opposing vision of management. At 37 years old, he is the youngest candidate for the club presidency in its history, while Pérez is 79, creating the largest age gap between candidates. El Pais ↗
The campaign has been accompanied by striking football promises. Pérez announced that if re-elected, José Mourinho could return to the club as head coach, with the return reportedly set to cost 15 million euros. At the same time, he is preparing an offer of 150 million euros for Michael Olise from Bayern Munich. Riquelme responded with a promise to bring in Erling Haaland, and according to earlier reports, he signed a notarized commitment to pay members' season tickets if any of his promises are not fulfilled. sport.sk ↗
The outcome could also be significantly influenced by postal votes, which have historically been important in the club's elections. The members' decision will therefore not only be about the names of coaches and new signings, but also about the future governance model of Real Madrid. SITA ↗
