Real Madrid plans five exits as election looms

Real Madrid will navigate a busy summer window dominated by a presidential election between Florentino Perez and Enrique Riquelme. The club’s sporting department is drafting transfer strategies that include both incoming signings and five player exits. Jose Mourinho is set to return as manager to oversee the campaign. Perez, who has previously led the club, faces Riquelme in a vote that will determine the board’s direction for the next term. The election outcome is expected to influence budget allocations for the upcoming transfer window. Mourinho’s appointment signals continuity in the coaching staff despite the administrative contest. The sporting department’s plan targets five departures, though specific player names have not been disclosed. The focus will be on balancing the squad after last season’s performances. The club aims to maintain competitiveness while complying with financial fair play constraints.
