As President of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez is given great power that comes with great responsibility, especially when it comes to decisions that could shape the future of the club.
The Spanish businessman is the most successful President in the club's history and his ideas are often well received by fans, Socios and the club's board of directors.
On that front, it's important to note that Perez is planning a major change in Real Madrid's ownership, one that will likely alter the way the club is run and managed.
Despite being the richest and most successful organization in football, Real Madrid surprisingly does not have private ownership. They are entirely owned by the club's voting members, known as Socios.
In fact, the President himself is elected by the club members and therefore has a direct influence and say in the future of the club.
However, as Ramon Alvarez de Mon - a famous sports journalist in Spain and quite close to Real Madrid, revealed, Perez is considering completely changing the ownership model of the club and therefore hopes to cancel the ownership of Socios.
As part of the new system he proposed, the Real Madrid Foundation would hold a majority stake in the club, with members being part shareholders.
Furthermore, small companies could also become shareholders in the future in what is described as a partial privatization of the club's ownership.
It remains to be seen whether the new idea will gain the support of Socios, as they are the ones directly affected, and whether it will ultimately be adopted.
What also needs to be considered is the economic impact of such a change and whether it will provide any additional economic support for the club to remain competitive in today's inflationary market.
