This 76-year-old, currently in his second stint as Real Madrid president, is renowned for his audacious footballing decisions. Whether it was acquiring the world’s finest football talents, famously dubbed as ‘Galacticos‘ during his initial tenure, or orchestrating the acquisition of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009, Perez has consistently shown a readiness to go to great lengths for the success of his beloved Real Madrid.
The Real Estate mogul, who is reported to be the chief of the much-maligned European Super League per reports from Marca, is again at the thick of things at the La Liga club, albeit for a beautiful reason as he is set to be honoured by the stakeholders of the club.
Real Madrid stakeholders to honour Perez
Ahead of the club’s general assembly which Tribuna reports will hold on November 11, more than 1,000 representatives of the Real Madrid board have suggested that the club should immortalise its president by naming the pitch after him.
While Florentino has previously resisted such recognition, the overwhelming majority of the club’s stakeholders now support this gesture.
Notably, some members of the Real Madrid board initially opposed the idea of honouring Perez in this manner, but the majority of board members have cited Article 28 of the Social Statutes, which permits them to bestow such an honour upon the president. To resolve this matter, it has been agreed that a decision by ballot will be made during the general assembly.
