Florentino Pérez unsurprisingly won the election, and now he aims to secure the millions needed to complete the most expensive signing in the club’s history.
The transfer market for Real Madrid has been given a new lease of life after the election, and a summer is expected that could completely change the club’s project. After Florentino Pérez was re-elected, the rebuilding process requires both big signings – and big sales.

At the Santiago Bernabéu, the doubt is no longer just about who gets in, but also about who has to be sacrificed. Here, Fede Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga appear as two names that are shaking up the white market.
Real Madrid need financial room for manoeuvre to go on the attack
The prevailing idea is to raise €150 million through two significant sales – an amount that will trigger Florentino Pérez’s big move. According to Miguel Serrano, the club’s priority right now is not to sell Vinícius or Aurélien Tchouaméni. All eyes are on Fede Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga – two players with international appeal.
Such an operation will be both powerful and painful. Valverde has for years been a symbol of energy, drive and will to win, while Camavinga is still a young talent with great development potential.
But the market demands cold decisions. If Real Madrid are to chase a European superstar for astronomical sums, they will have to generate income and free up wage capacity.
Florentino Pérez demands 100 million for Fede Valverde
The plan, attributed to Pérez, is to raise around 100 million euros through a sale of Fede Valverde. The Uruguayan has a high value due to his experience, versatility and performances in the big matches. Justifying the sale to a section of the fans will be challenging – Valverde has delivered in demanding situations and remains a midfielder with power, character, shooting foot and drive.
Therefore, Real Madrid will not consider lower bids. A possible sale of the Uruguayan only makes sense as part of a strategic operation to finance an immediate star signing.
Eduardo Camavinga – the other piece Real Madrid will use
The case of Eduardo Camavinga is different. The Frenchman can bring in around €50 million – a significant sum for a young player, although doubts have recently arisen about his performance.
Camavinga still has supporters both inside and outside the club. His physicality, dribbling skills, and ability to break lines make him an attractive piece for teams that need power in midfield.
The Premier League seems like a natural destination, due to the league’s financial muscle and the demand for complete midfielders. In this context, Real Madrid can convert potential value on the pitch into immediate liquidity.

Fede Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga – sacrifices with a sporting eye
A possible sale of Valverde and Camavinga has a double meaning: it will on the one hand finance the star signing, and on the other hand confirm a phase of deep restructuring.
In the Madrid community, there is also talk of other smaller sales. Dani Ceballos, Fran García, Gonzalo or Raúl Asencio are mentioned as negotiable pieces to complete the sales process. With these secondary sales, Real Madrid can raise an additional €50 million – an amount that can be used to bolster multiple positions, not just one big signing.
Real Madrid prepares for a summer of drastic choices
Nothing has been decided, but the message is clear: Florentino Pérez intends to act decisively, and he understands that to spend big, you also have to sell big. The reconstruction does not come without cost.
If this plan becomes a reality, Fede Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga will go from being key pieces to becoming the market’s most important sales objects. Two sales – 150 million euros – and one clear goal: To see Real Madrid strike first again.
