Pérez to Unveil Program Tomorrow, Expected to Confirm Mourinho and Pave Way for Major Club Change at Real Madrid

Florentino Pérez is set to unveil his project for the Real Madrid presidential elections tomorrow at 7:00 PM CET (editor's note: 8:00 PM Bulgarian time) at the Meliá Castilla hotel, as reported by "Marca." The vote, though not yet officially confirmed, is anticipated to take place on June 7th at the Whites' training ground in Valdebebas.

The club's current president, who has held the position since 2009 following an earlier tenure between 2000 and 2006, will outline the core tenets of his project under the slogan "Much more history yet to be written." Last week, Pérez's campaign displayed a massive banner on a building in Sagrados Corazones Square, adjacent to the Bernabéu. It listed the cities where the seven Champions League titles were won under his leadership – from Glasgow in 2002 to the most recent in London in 2024.

Sporting successes (a total of 66 trophies) will be one of Florentino's main strengths, as he has led the club through the most successful period in its 124-year history. However, the echoes of the recently concluded trophy-less season, the dismissal of Xabi Alonso and his replacement by Álvaro Arbeloa, and revelations of serious dressing room tensions – most notably the incident between Valverde and Tchouaméni – remain as negatives.

The selection of Arbeloa's successor will be a key element in Pérez's campaign. He reportedly has an agreement with José Mourinho for the Portuguese manager's return to Real Madrid 13 years after his departure. The Special One's name is expected to be confirmed by Pérez tomorrow.

Significant transfer signings are also anticipated, although Florentino and his management continue to view the Mbappé-Vinicius-Bellingham trio as the team's foundation. Crucial reinforcements are certainly expected in defense (following the confirmed departures of Carvajal and Alaba) and in midfield, which the technical staff identified as a major weakness for the team over the past two seasons.

Beyond the sporting aspects, other strong points in Florentino's campaign will include the reconstruction of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium and its revenue-generating capacity (despite concert-related issues expected to be resolved soon), the modernization of the club's corporate model (with more details anticipated this Wednesday), and Madrid's restored leadership position in European football following the reconciliation with UEFA after the Super League conflict.

According to "Voz Populi," if Florentino Pérez wins the elections by a landslide, he plans to immediately proceed with his plans to sell a stake in the club to external investors.

Should the current Real Madrid president secure a decisive victory, he believes it will grant him full legitimacy in the eyes of club members to sell this minority stake, thereby completely neutralizing both internal and external opposition to the move.

He will convene an extraordinary general assembly of members to hold a referendum on changing the club's ownership model. If he wins the elections with 80% or 90% of the votes, he believes he will easily secure the necessary 50%+ votes in the referendum to alter the club's ownership structure.

This would be a revolutionary development for Real Madrid. As is well known, the club is entirely owned by its members, known as "socios." The project is being led by Florentino Pérez's right-hand man, Anas Laghari, the publication further claims.
