Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has caused a stir in the football world with a passionate and defiant response to internal tensions at the Santiago Bernabéu. The unrest appears to be linked to Liverpool’s recent Premier League victory, which has reportedly caught the attention of some of Madrid’s rising stars.
In a surprising twist, both Arda Güler and Rodrygo Goes have handed in formal transfer requests, signaling their desire to move to Liverpool. Insider reports suggest the young talents are dissatisfied with their limited playing time and see greater opportunities under Liverpool’s current managerial setup. The Premier League champions are believed to be actively pursuing the pair to strengthen their already formidable squad.
Pérez, however, is having none of it. In leaked comments from behind closed doors, he expressed deep frustration over the situation. “Liverpool winning the title is becoming a nightmare,” he reportedly said. “Now I have two of our most promising players wanting to leave for Anfield.”
He made his stance clear with an emotional vow: “I would prefer Real Madrid to miss the Champions League for the next three seasons than let those two leave. They’re not just players — they’re future legends.”
Pérez’s remarks underscore the importance of Güler and Rodrygo to Madrid’s future plans. The potential loss of both to Liverpool, a major European rival, is seen by the club’s leadership as a serious threat to their long-term ambitions.
The president didn’t hold back, warning that such departures would hand a major competitive advantage to a direct rival. “If Liverpool gets them, we’ll suffer the consequences for years. I won’t hand over our future to a rival.”
Reactions online have been intense. Most Madrid fans are backing Pérez and praising his defense of the club’s future, while Liverpool supporters are buzzing over the possibility of landing two highly rated stars.
Although the transfer window hasn’t officially opened, it’s clear that Liverpool’s recent success has shaken things up in Madrid — and the football world is watching this high-stakes drama unfold.
