According to a report by Fabrizio Romano on his X on Tuesday, 12 May, 2026, In a fiery and characteristically defiant press conference on Tuesday, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez delivered a stern warning to internal saboteurs, vowing to personally root out those undermining the club from within.………
The veteran leader, who has steered Los Blancos through eras of triumph and turbulence alike, left no room for ambiguity: leaks and disloyalty will not be tolerated.
Speaking amid one of the more challenging periods in recent club history, Pérez projected the unyielding resolve that has defined his presidency.
Real Madrid, a club built on galactic ambition and institutional discipline, has faced a storm of speculation, dressing-room rumors, and sensitive information finding its way into the public domain.
Pérez’s message was clear and uncompromising: the buck stops with him.
“The enemies inside the club who leak things? Leave them to me. I take care of them… TRUST ME,” he declared, his tone blending reassurance to loyalists with a steel edged threat to any fifth column operating in the shadows.
This outburst comes against a backdrop of heightened scrutiny. Real Madrid’s season has fallen short of its own towering standards, with early exits in key competitions and a trophyless campaign looming for the first time in years.
Internally, tensions have simmered: reports of dressing-room clashes, questions over high-profile signings like Kylian Mbappé, and whispers of tactical or squad disharmony have fueled endless media cycles.
Pérez has long viewed Real Madrid as a fortress under constant external assault from rival clubs, La Liga’s leadership, refereeing controversies, and segments of the Spanish media.
But his latest comments shine a spotlight inward, acknowledging that the most damaging blows often come from within.
