‘Enrique Riquelme goes on the attack. The candidate for the Real Madrid presidency, who will face Florentino Pérez at the ballot box, is ready to play the signings card. “I have signed two major international stars,” he said in an interview with ABC.’
“There are signings already secured. I have signed two major international stars for Real Madrid. Two players, and we are working on the coach side,” Riquelme points out.
‘”There is an agreement that if I am president of Real Madrid there are two major international stars who will play for Real Madrid and they are necessary for Real Madrid’s short-, medium-, and long-term sporting project,” insisted the executive president of Grupo Cox when asked a follow-up question.’
To the question of whether he is going to announce it in the next two weeks, Riquelme also weighed in: “Probably yes.”
It is a sad day for Real Madrid, with no players called up by Spain for the World Cup
Enrique Riquelme also took the opportunity to criticize Florentino Pérez’s policy regarding the lack of signings of Spanish players. He did so at an event in Valencia. “It is a sad day for Real Madrid, with no players called up by Spain for the World Cup,” he told the media.
“The members should be able to hear different projects and decide which Madrid is the Madrid of the future,” he added. In addition, he called for the option to debate with Florentino Pérez’s candidacy before the elections are held.
