Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has been the subject of attention for all the wrong reasons in the last couple of months.
Perez has had a terrible time in the public eye since April now as his involvement in founding the European Super League has been seen as a disgusting attempt to spoil the basic traditions and roots of football as a sport. In addition to that, his rigidity of making the project successful despite receiving negative feedback more or less universally has been seen as a detrimental action.
In the most recent developments, audio files were leaked about the Real Madrid incumbent being menacingly critical of club legends such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas and Raul among others.

A lack of signings in the last two years have further added fuel to such claims and Perez faces a do or die campaign ahead of his eyes.
