Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has made a bold and explosive statement amid rising internal tensions at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Following Liverpool’s Premier League title win, the ripple effects are already reaching Spain — particularly in Madrid, where stars Arda Güler and Rodrygo Goes have officially requested transfers.
Their desired destination? Liverpool.
According to sources within the club, both players are eager for more consistent playing time, something Liverpool’s new management is reportedly ready to offer. However, Pérez is outraged — and he’s not staying quiet.
“Liverpool winning the league is already proving to be a nightmare,” Pérez said bluntly. “Now I’ve got Güler and Rodrygo handing in transfer requests just to get more minutes at Anfield.”
He didn’t hold back: “I’d rather Real Madrid miss out on the Champions League for the next three years than let them go. These two aren’t just squad players — they’re generational stars.”
Pérez’s fiery stance makes one thing abundantly clear: he sees Liverpool as more than just competition — they’re a serious threat to Real’s European supremacy.
“If Liverpool signs them, we’ll be paying the price for years. I refuse to gift our future to a direct rival.”
The comments have ignited a storm online. Real fans have rallied behind Pérez’s passion, while Liverpool supporters are buzzing with excitement over the potential arrival of two elite talents.
What’s certain is that Liverpool’s domestic success has stirred the pot in Madrid — and tensions are only heating up. As one cheeky fan summed it up online: “He knows if they come to Liverpool, the Champions League is ours. ”
And with the summer transfer window still to officially open, it’s clear the battle has already begun.
