On May 12, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez held an unexpected press conference, announcing he would not resign despite the club's two seasons without titles and growing fan discontent. He called for elections, a move that surprised many. Pérez, a long-time member of the club, faces potential rivals like Enrique Riquelme, who has been accused of undermining the club. The club's recent struggles, including a locker room crisis involving star player Kylian Mbappé, have intensified scrutiny on Pérez's leadership. The upcoming elections will determine the future direction of the club, with candidates expected to be announced soon.
