Perez has also been the mastermind behind Real Madrid’s capture of various iconic players including Cristiano Ronaldo and now Kylian Mbappe.

Perez to run for elections in 2025

Despite his unprecedented success, there were doubts over Florentino Perez’s continuation as Real Madrid president beyond 2025, primarily due to his age and health issues.

However, according to Jorge Picon, Florentino Perez has no plans to retire just yet and is expected to run for the 2025 Real Madrid elections.

The report cites people in the know, stating that Perez has not ruled out running for the presidency again. If he wins in 2025, he will remain as the Real Madrid president for four more years, though that will serve as the end of his mandate.
