"An absurd situation has been created against Real Madrid and against me. I regret to inform you that I will not resign. I will call for elections. Some are saying I'm sick, that I have terminal cancer. I want to take this opportunity to thank the people who are worried about me. I'm still president of the club and my company, which has a turnover of 50 billion a year. My health is perfect."
"Journalists and their colleagues don't run things at Real Madrid. People don't believe them; they believe me. Journalists think they influence club decisions because they're important, but that's not the case. The members are in charge. I can't accept that just because we haven't won La Liga and the Champions League this year. They say Real Madrid is in chaos now, and yet it's the most prestigious club in the world."
"Speculation suggests that Jose Mourinho will return as manager - but Perez called in the news cameras to criticise his own critics. The 79-year-old said his health was fine and he was going nowhere. He said: "An absurd situation has been created against Real Madrid and against me. I regret to inform you that I will not resign. I will call for elections."
"Mourinho is thought to be the preferred choice for Perez after a season of enormous instability that has unravelled over the past week, culminating in a training ground fracas between Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouameni. Valverde ended up in hospital with a brain trauma and both men were fined €500,000. Mourinho has another 12 months left on his contract at Benfica but it contains a one-week escape clause at the end of the season."
Florentino Perez responded to criticism in Spanish media after holding a surprise press conference. He said his health was fine and he would not resign, adding that he would call for elections. He denied rumors that he was sick or had terminal cancer and emphasized his continued role as president and the scale of his company. Perez argued that journalists and their colleagues do not run Real Madrid, and that members are responsible for decisions. He rejected claims that the club was in chaos despite failing to win La Liga and the Champions League. Recent instability included a training ground incident involving Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouameni, with both fined and Valverde hospitalized.
