“I won’t be fired. I’ll just be shot.” This is Perse’s ultimatum.

Florentino Pérez, the president of Real Madrid, has reacted strongly to the rumors about possible resignations. The club’s leader didn’t try to use diplomatic language. Instead, he said, “Some people think they can get me out of the team. But they’ll have to shoot me instead.” Pérez made it clear that he wouldn’t give in to the pressure from those who try to influence him or the media. His position is clear: “Florentino won’t leave until the board itself decides it’s time for him to step down.” In the hierarchy of Real Madrid, it’s the club’s members who have the power to elect and remove the president. Any attempts by outsiders to influence these decisions are ineffective, according to Pérez. This ultimatum confirms his reputation as a leader who is accustomed to controlling situations in Madrid according to his own rules. He made it clear that the fate of his presidency lies solely in the decisions of the club’s board, not in the hands of those who try to influence him from outside. As long as the board doesn’t decide to make changes, Real Madrid will continue to be led by him.
