Enrique Riquelme Names Rodri Hernández First Target if Elected

Enrique Riquelme says Rodri Hernández will be his first signing if he wins the Real Madrid presidency on June 7. The announcement came ahead of the club’s election scheduled for that date. Rodri Hernández is the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner. He is set to head a project that will bring additional Spain national team stars to Real Madrid. The plan also calls for a top‑level coach to manage the side. Riquelme emphasized the coach’s quality as essential to the project. The election on 7 June will determine whether Riquelme can implement the proposed signings. A victory would give him authority to negotiate Hernández’s transfer. If the vote succeeds, Hernández’s arrival could reshape Real Madrid’s roster ahead of the next season. The club’s direction will hinge on the election outcome.
