Real Madrid President Florentino Perez considering turning members into shareholders in huge shake up

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has shown in recent years that he is not afraid to shake up the football landscape by proposing the Superleague project four years ago. However, he is also planning big changes in the White House.

Earlier this week it was reported that Perez was considering announcing a change in Real Madrid's ownership model at the general meeting, and Relevo has been able to provide more details. They say his plan is to turn the club's members into shareholders.

The reason for this is that Perez wants to protect himself from the 'attacks' that Real Madrid have suffered in recent years, highlighting La Liga's CVC deal and changes to sporting laws in Spain. Neither ultimately affected Los Blancos as they challenged them in court, but Perez believes they would be better protected as a private company.

Amid members' doubts, Perez will try to convince them that their shares will not be diluted and they cannot sell the shares, but that they will be passed down from generation to generation through family ties.
