Pérez Promises Huge Signing If Re-elected as Real Madrid President

President of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, has promised to make the biggest transfer in the club's history if he gets re-elected on Sunday. He hinted at a big summer signing as part of a new plan called "Galácticos."

On Friday, BBC Sport reported Pérez talking about the upcoming vote. He said the club is ready to make a bold move for a top player from a major European team.

"On Tuesday or so, I’m going to make an offer to a major Champions League club for a great player. It would be the largest transfer fee Real Madrid has ever paid in its history," he shared.

Pérez mentioned that the target is an attacking player, but he did not reveal who it is. He also ruled out some big names that have been linked to the club lately.

"Olise is a great player, but it’s not Olise. It’s not Doku either," he said. He also dismissed Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane and Manchester City forward Erling Haaland as targets.

He hinted that the player is not from the Premier League. "We’re going to make a significant offer, at least around 150 million euros," Pérez stated. "He needs to be a player from midfield who can go forward."

Pérez explained that this move is meant to excite the fans as he runs for another term. "It’s a signing meant to generate excitement because that’s what it’s all about, generating excitement," he said.

The election is happening at a tough time for Real Madrid. The team finished last season without a major trophy for the second year in a row and is behind rivals Barcelona in La Liga.

Almost 100,000 club members are expected to vote on Sunday. This election will decide if Pérez continues his long time as president or if challenger Enrique Riquelme takes over.
