A growing sense of unease is being felt inside the offices of the Santiago Bernabéu, and it has little to do with what is happening on the pitch. According to Vozpópuli, figures close to Real Madrid’s leadership are increasingly concerned about Florentino Pérez’s decision to grant expanding influence to Anas Laghrari, the French-Moroccan financier widely viewed as the club’s future CEO and a potential successor to the president.
If Pérez’s long-term vision is fulfilled, Laghrari would assume control following a partial privatization of the club. Although he holds no official position within Real Madrid’s organizational structure, sources cited by Vozpópuli claim that Laghrari already operates as a key figure behind the scenes, influencing even high-level strategic decisions.
Laghrari’s presence around the club is not new. His relationship with Florentino Pérez dates back years and has strengthened alongside Real Madrid’s major financial operations. According to reports, he is now working on the creation of a holding company designed to separate the club’s sporting side from its business activities. This move would be a crucial step toward opening the door to strategic partners.
Among the potential partners mentioned are the American investment fund Sixth Street, already active in European football, as well as the LVMH group and its owner Bernard Arnault, one of the wealthiest individuals in the world.
