Perez reacted strongly to the rumors: “I will leave only if I lose the elections.”

Perse reacted strongly to the rumors: “I will leave only if I lose the elections.” Real president Florentino Pérez put an end to any talk about his possible departure from the Madrid club. In his statement, he said that he had no intention of voluntarily stepping down from his position, and he was willing to fight for his seat through the club’s procedures. “I will leave only when someone defeats me in the elections. People say I have cancer, and that I want to leave on my own… Do you really want me to leave? Fine. I’ll hold elections, and let’s see who can defeat me.” Pérez made it clear that the only legitimate way to change leadership in Santiago Bernabeu is through elections. This statement was a direct response to the rumors in Spanish media about possible changes in leadership. Pérez has repeatedly shown that he has considerable support from the club’s members, and he doesn’t plan to give up his position without a serious political struggle within the club’s rules.
