Perez wants a Galactico signing as Real Madrid elections near

The club chief is looking to bring in another star player in the next window as Los Blancos reshape their squad following the transfer ban.


Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is targeting a Galactico signing ahead of summer elections at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The club chief returned to the presidency in 2009 and spent in excess of €250 million in an ambitious project similar to his first spell at the club, when the team featuring Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo, Ronaldo and David Beckham was nickamed Los Galacticos.

Upon his return, the construction magnate sought to replicate that plan by bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Karim Benzema and Xabi Alonso. And that has always been his idea: to build a team with the best Spanish talents combined with the finest footballers from the rest of the world.

In 2013, elections were due to take place once again and despite only moderate success up until that time, he was unchallenged and duly promised another exciting project. And that saw the arrival of Gareth Bale for a world-record €100m fee, plus Isco and Carlo Ancelotti as coach.
