Florentino Pérez has just announced that he will break Real Madrid’s transfer record to bring in a new €150 million signing as early as next week.
Appearing on the television program Horizonte, Pérez confirmed his plans to bring José Mourinho back to manage the team. Alongside the free transfer of Ibrahima Konaté and the confirmed acquisition of defender Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan, all attention is now focused on a record-breaking offer.

“Next Tuesday, I will submit an offer of at least €150 million for a great player from a major Champions League club,” he stated. If successful, this deal will officially shatter Jude Bellingham’s €103 million record to become the most expensive signing in the history of the Royal Club.
Although he refused to reveal the player’s identity, Pérez dropped significant hints. This is a star who plays in midfield or attack, and does not compete in the Premier League. He also emphasized that this target is not Haaland, Kane, Olise, or Doku.
On the other side of the battle lines, Enrique Riquelme is also creating considerable pressure by promising to bring in the Manchester City duo of Erling Haaland and Rodri if elected. He even declared that he would personally pay the one-year membership fees for the socios (members) out of his own pocket if he fails to fulfill this promise.
With such “heavyweight” strategic cards being played by both candidates, Sunday’s election promises to usher in a glamorous new era of spending in the Spanish capital.
