For several years, Florentino Pérez has led Real Madrid with a masterful hand. The 77-year-old businessman has been involved in several colossal projects, the most important being the renovation of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium. Regarding the sporting field, the Spaniard still tries to build the most competitive team possible to win titles. This summer, he finally managed to get his hands on Kylian Mbappé (25 years old). A player he has coveted for years and for whom he has wet the jersey. Despite the reluctance of certain leaders after the multiple failures with the former PSG, the Madrid boss remained solid on his support and managed to sign him.

But for the moment, the Frenchman has not managed to perform at his best level. Despite this, the Madrid management maintains confidence in him as it explained this Thursday in the columns of Marca. On the side of Relevothe subject that is causing ink to flow today has nothing to do with KM9 and his first 100 days within his new club. Indeed, the Iberian media, renowned for its seriousness, takes stock of the new project led by Florentino Pérez. Yesterday, the journalists of the show El Chiringuito had already started talking about it. They revealed that the number 1 of Casa Blanca was going to raise an unexpected and important subject during a meeting organized on Sunday within the Spanish team.

Real Madrid boss launches new project

Journalist Edu Aguirre, well informed about Real Madrid, clarified that the Merengues boss “is going to hit the table hard at Sunday’s assembly.” This Thursday, we know a little about the famous stunt that Florentino Pérez is preparing. Relevo explains that on November 24, Florentino Pérez will confront the delegated members of the Assembly to discuss the situation of his club and obtain validation of the annual accounts and the budget for the season. So far, nothing crazy. But the Spanish publication adds that he will take advantage of this opportunity to present his new project. A project he has been working on for months.

Indeed, Pérez, who began discussing his plan on Tuesday with partners, wants to implement a change in the structure of the club and more broadly of the company that is Real Madrid. His idea is therefore to transform the members of the club into shareholders. A project which aims to protect socios, who could transmit their actions only within their family. This would avoid sales to third parties. Very involved, the president of Casa Blanca surrounded himself with the law firm Clifford Chance and the investment bank Key Capital in order to propose the project “as viable, legal and correct as possible” ensures Relevo. But this idea does not reassure everyone.

Socios who will become shareholders

The Iberian media specifies that certain long-standing partners have a certain fear and fear becoming purely a sporting company like other teams. But Florentino Pérez and his teams are confident and assure that their plan is “to protect the institution from others who try to profit from the Real Madrid brand and manage the revenue it generates.” Real Madrid therefore wants more independence in order to control its assets while remaining faithful to its principles and values, as well as its tradition. What the president of Real Madrid had already mentioned during the previous assembly last year. “We have built a legacy since 1902 that we have a duty to defend. La Liga thinks our heritage doesn’t matter to us. »

He added: “They dare to take our money, while this money belongs to the 100,000 members of Real Madrid. We must adopt measures so that Madrid and its members have the necessary capacity to defend our club. In addition to this new project, Florentino Pérez intends to take advantage of his audience to attack UEFA, FIFA and the Ballon d’Or, he who still cannot digest that Vinicius Jr or Dani Carvajal were not crowned in Paris on October 28 last. Annoyed, he had also canceled the trip of the Madrid delegation to the French capital at the last moment. Pérez will also discuss the Super League, one of his hobby horses. The schedule is therefore busy for the Madrid boss.
