Florentino Perez keeps Real Madrid’s €150 million transfer target secret
Summary

Florentino Perez has not disclosed the identity of Real Madrid's €150 million transfer target ahead of the presidential election set for next week. The decision to maintain secrecy is tied to electoral strategy and FIFA regulations regarding player contracts. While Perez has confirmed he will announce the player's name if re-elected, fans may have to wait longer for official news. Earlier agreements involving players like Denzel Dumfries were treated differently, as those situations did not present the same procedural challenges as the undisclosed transfer.
