Real Madrid: 3 reasons why Florentino Perez is hurting his standing as president
By Sudhir Salvi
Real Madrid are in a slightly wretched situation at the moment, especially because the squad seems very imbalanced due to recent departures.
The exits of Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane are bound to put the club in a spot of bother at least until the newer members of the squad such as David Alaba and Eder Militao take up a bigger responsibility and are comfortable in their new roles. On the other hand, the club is taking a very debatable stance in the transfer market- which is Kylian Mbappe arrives or nobody arrives.
Florentino Perez was recently elected as the club’s president unanimously for another four years, but in less than three months of his election, his standing at the club has come under question. The 73-year-old has not impressed the fans in any way and now, with the latest that has happened regarding the club and its image, one would imagine that he is not at all a favourite.
The 2021/22 season is a crucial year for Perez because it could make or break his reputation, especially as fans will return to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and make themselves heard- whether it is for the good reasons or the bad ones. Nonetheless, some damage has already been done and we look at three reasons why he is hurting his standing as president.
