Real Madrid to Sign Midfielder Despite Election Delay

Real Madrid confirmed that its pursuit of a new midfielder will continue despite the upcoming presidential election. The club stated the signing will not be delayed by the vote.

The election pits incumbent Florentino Perez against challenger Enrique Riquelme. The campaign has caused Real Madrid to pause several strategic plans.

Among the postponed projects is the appointment of Jose Mourinho as the next head coach. Club officials said the Mourinho agreement is unlikely to be concluded in the immediate term.

Real Madrid expects the midfielder deal to close once the transfer window ends. The outcome of the election will determine the timing of the remaining initiatives.
