The Real Madrid president promises the most expensive signing in club history at 150 million euros.
“It will be around 150 million euros. I can’t give any hints, I’m just telling you what we’re going to do,” says Florentino Perez.
He says that it is not Michael Olise, Jeremy Doku or Erling Haaland. It’s probably a midfielder or striker, and he’s not from the Premier League, reports Marca.
For two seasons, Perez has led Real Madrid without titles, both with Kylian Mbappé in the squad, but he knows that Real Madrid’s voters are being swayed by “record-breaking signings” and “competitions”.
