Florentino Pérez’s speech marks all the interest of the annual assembly of delegate members that Real Madrid is holding tomorrow in the basketball pavilion of the Valdebebas sports city. According to the talks that the president has had this week in small meetings with partners, the white president will insist on his obsessions of recent years: among other topics, he will ensure that the idea of the Super League is still alive, in which despite the support Barcelona seems more alone than ever. Pérez believes that he can maintain something that seems totally utopian, that the Super League can start next season supported by the favorable ruling of the European courts.
Florentino Pérez will also justify something that earned him great criticism, why the club did not go to the Ballon d’Or gala when it found out that the award was not for Vinícius. In fact, the president of Madrid frames the non-awarding of the award to his player as another link in the battle he has been fighting for years against UEFA and its president, the Slovenian Aleksander Ceferin.
The cancellation of concerts at the Bernabéu
New works worth 25 million
Pérez will also defend that the club continues to appear in the case of the Negreira case (this is what the members ask of him) and will explain how he plans to solve the refusal to hold concerts at the Bernabéu, something that was canceled due to the opposition of a group of residents of the Bernabéu. stadium that complained about the noise. In this section he will say that of the total income, which last season exceeded one billion, only 1% corresponds to what is received from said events. Soundproofing works can cost around 25 million.
The big news in the president’s speech will not be put to a vote because it is not on the agenda. As he announced at last year’s assembly, the president will address what he wants to be a change in the club’s ownership model. Florentino Pérez intends to create an institutional shield that guarantees that Real Madrid continues to belong to its members and that would involve converting the members into shareholders without the club becoming a sports corporation, a possibility that, according to the club, the new sports law.
The novelty
The partners would be shareholders
This new model, according to these sources, would be implemented with safeguards because the shares could only be transmitted within the family, from the first generation (from parents to children), thus avoiding their sale to third parties. Florentino Pérez has been working on this idea for months with the help of the Clifford Chance law firm.
The assembly must approve the accounts for last and the current season, which will not represent any problem. The last assemblies endorsed the club’s accounts with favorable votes from more than 95% of the members present.
