Recent speculation in Spanish media regarding the potential departure of Florentino Perez from his role as President of Real Madrid has been met with swift clarification. Reports surfaced on Friday suggesting that Perez was considering stepping down in 2025, despite his current term officially running until 2029.
However, these rumors have been strongly refuted. Renowned Spanish journalist Alberto Pereira has stated that the reports are entirely unfounded. According to Pereira, Florentino Perez has no plans to resign and intends to fulfill his duties until the end of his current mandate.
Perez is a highly influential figure in global football administration. His initial tenure as President of Real Madrid began in 2000 and concluded in 2006. He returned to the presidency in 2009 and, following the most recent elections, is set to remain in charge until 2029.
Current indications suggest that this term, concluding in 2029, is likely to be Perez’s last. At that point, the then 78-year-old is expected to bring an end to his long and impactful leadership of the club.
