On June 4th , former Real Madrid star Gareth Bale posted a photo of himself with Florentino on social media.
There are only 72 hours left until voting officially begins in the Real Madrid membership election. At that time, Real Madrid members will vote to choose the leader who will oversee this top giant for the next four years: either Florentino Pérez or challenger Enrique Riquelme. The election campaign has reached fever pitch, with both candidates adopting completely different campaign tactics.
As reported by "AS", a large number of distinguished former Real Madrid players have publicly expressed their firm support for Florentino's campaign. The latest to join this group is Bale. The Welsh superstar, who arrived as an iconic signing for the "Galacticos" in 2013, posted a photo with Florentino on his social media, accompanied by a highly significant caption: "The best." Bale's public statement is undoubtedly another powerful "new signing" for the current Real Madrid president in the final sprint of the election campaign.
Florentino is now surrounded by superstars. Bale is by no means the only iconic figure to have spoken out publicly on social platforms. Benzema, Casemiro, Vazquez, Nacho, Ancelotti, and Luka Dončić, among other big names—whether former meritorious players from the football team or the basketball team—had all previously come forward to publicly endorse Florentino's re-election campaign.
