Enrique Riquelme Claims Two Signings Ready if Elected

Enrique Riquelme, candidate for Real Madrid presidency, says two international players are already signed for the coming summer. He makes the claim contingent on winning the election against incumbent Florentino Perez. The presidential vote will be the first at the club in two decades, marking the first election in 20 years. The contest pits Riquelme directly against Perez. Riquelme submitted a €187 million bank guarantee on Saturday, satisfying the financial requirement to stand as a candidate. The guarantee cleared the procedural hurdle for his campaign. Should Riquelme secure the presidency, the two pending signings could be finalized before the next transfer window. The outcome of the vote will determine whether his promised arrivals join Real Madrid.
