The General Assembly of Real Madrid members began, as is almost a custom, with boos towards the press area in a somewhat tense and cold atmosphere. After a few first moments dedicated to those affected by the last DANA in Valencia and in memory of Juan Miguel Villar Mir (former vice president of Real Madrid), Luis Blasco (former member of the Board of Directors), Beckenbauer, Manuel Ruiz de Lopera, Mariano Haro and Concha Velasco, among others, Florentino Pérez has addressed his partners. Among other issues, The president of Real Madrid spoke about the club’s economic situation, the progress in the construction of the new Santiago Bernabéu, Vinicius and the Ballon d’Or (with a message included to UEFA) and the doubts generated by the distribution of the League’s image rights.
But, without a doubt, the most anticipated words were those of the confirmation of the ‘rurún’ from days ago: “We are going to bring a proposal to reorganize Real Madrid, something that ensures prosperity. That guarantees that the members are owners of the club. Let him really guarantee it.”
To this end, Florentino Pérez has already confirmed a future referendum in which he will request a structural change of the institution to protect it from future takeovers and not be the new Blockbuster: “He didn’t know how to adapt to the new world and he didn’t see the end of video tapes. And he ended up bankrupt. We don’t want to be Blockbuster.”
“Be clear that I will kill myself so that the assets and money of Real Madrid belong to Real Madrid.” It should be noted that, last season, Real Madrid was the first soccer club to surpass the 1,000 million euros in income, 27% more than in 2023, and what allows it to compete with the big franchises of the NFL and the NBA.
100 million euros for 25 games a year
“It is inconceivable that we have to read in some toxic digital media that the Bernabéu does not have a license to operate. Organizing concerts is not a particularly lucrative activity for the club. I want you to know that income in this sense barely represents 1%. But we understand that this activity is important, because it reinforces the image of the club.”
“For this reason, we make our stadium available. It will be the City Council that will decide if it wants to continue hosting major events, which would reinforce the image of the entire city and benefit many. I repeat, for us, it is barely 1% of the benefits. And regarding parking, Large infrastructures have parking and we agreed with the City Council, they reserve a third of it for residents. Can anyone understand that to play 25 games a year, lasting two hours, such an investment is made? Well, we do it, in order to improve this neighborhood called Chamartín. With whom we have so much relationship. “It’s many years.”
