The elections at Real Madrid are fast approaching and already the former emblematic players are making their preferences known. Roberto Carlos supports Florentino Perez, the outgoing president, while Enrique Riquelme can count on the support of Iker Casillas, Raul and Fernando Hierro, three legends of the Madrid club.
While the Real Madrid presidential elections are scheduled in two days, the campaign between Florentino Perez, outgoing president, and the young Enrique Riquelme is intensifying. As the vote approaches, the legendary former players of the Madrid club are starting to take a public stand. Among them, Roberto Carlos openly declared himself in favor of Florentino Perez. “I will vote for Florentino, that’s for sure,” said the Brazilian without hesitation. He also added: “We will win by a lot. Florentino is Florentino, I call him 'dad', he's a fantastic person, the best president of all time. »

On the other side, Enrique Riquelme, outsider candidate, benefits from the support of three historic figures of the club: Iker Casillas, Raul and Fernando Hierro. In a letter addressed to members, the candidate specified that, if elected, Casillas would occupy an important management position within Real Madrid. Furthermore, Raul would be named sporting director, while Hierro would take responsibility for the training center.
Riquelme concluded his message with an appeal to supporters: “On Sunday, you will decide whether Real Madrid remains a club for a few or whether it truly becomes the club of its members again. » The vote therefore promises to be particularly close and decisive for the future of the white club.
