“We are proud, best player in the world” – Florentino Perez gushes over Vinicius

On Sunday, Real Madrid hosted their General Meeting, with president Florentino Perez delivering an opening monologue covering various topics. One of them was the club's players, both past and present.

According to MD, Perez delivered a message to Vinicius Junior, who missed out on the 2024 Ballon d'Or last month.

“We are proud of a player like Vinicius. For us, and for most football fans, the best player in the world. Dear Vini, I want you to know that Real Madrid is proud of you, for everything you have often had to endure unfairly. All this has made you the player you are.”

Perez also spoke about Kylian Mbappe, who he was pleased to finally secure the services of over the summer.

“The arrival of Mbappé has been one of the events in the football world. As I said that day, he made an effort that many cannot even imagine. And he has already helped us win our first title: the European Super Cup.”

Finally, Perez offered words for Toni Kroos and Joselu Mato, who both left Real Madrid in the summer.

“It will be very difficult to see someone like Kroos again, one of the best in our history and one of the greatest legends of world football. His tribute on May 25 was moving and unforgettable. Dear Toni, thank you for everything you have given us. You know this will always be your home. I also want to remember Joselu, who took us to the final of the 15th. Thank you, dear Joselu.”
