Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has strongly addressed recent rumors and criticism, confirming he remains firmly in charge and in excellent health.
In a direct and emotional statement, Pérez said: “There are CAMPAIGNS against me.”
He continued defiantly: “But I’m still here and I’m the President of Real Madrid.”
Addressing health speculation head-on, the president added: “For example, some people said I have cancer, this is all MADE UP… I’m with good health.”
Pérez Breaks Silence on Smear Campaigns
The Real Madrid supremo has dismissed what he describes as organized campaigns aimed at destabilizing his leadership. Pérez, who has been president since 2009 (and earlier from 2000–2006), emphasized his resilience and commitment to the club during a turbulent period filled with transfer speculation, stadium redevelopment updates, and on-pitch challenges.
Despite persistent rumors circulating on social media and some media outlets, Florentino Pérez made it crystal clear that he is healthy, active, and fully focused on leading Real Madrid into the future.
Context and What It Means for Real Madrid
Pérez has long been a polarizing figure — praised by many for delivering multiple Champions League titles, signing superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Mbappé, Bellingham, and Vinicius, and overseeing the ambitious Bernabéu renovation, while criticized by others for certain transfer strategies and club policies.
By directly confronting the rumors, the 78-year-old president appears determined to silence doubters and project stability as the club prepares for the new season.
