Precisely with this goal in mind, Perez has already started to sign superstars to secure the role of the club in European football, and after signing Jude Bellingham last summer, he would have already sealed the arrival of Mbappe for the next season, being the Frenchman’s transfer the next step in his project.

Meanwhile, Perez would be trying to complete the build of the new Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, where he is going to invest up to $1 billion to create a spectacular new VIP super box with an iconic Skywalk terrace attached, expected be finished by April, and definitely in time for Taylor Swift’s concert in the stadium by May 30.

However, there would be a greater project than the one started by Perez at Real Madrid, and this would be the one led by the British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe at Manchester United, who according to the English journal The Times would be keen on building a new national stadium in the North of England to create the Wembley of the North of the country in Manchester.
