In the world of football, Florentino Perez is known as a businessman and the president of Real Madrid. However, it turns out Perez could have been part of the "Los Blancos" squad long before 2000, when he became the head of the capital club.
Details: The publication Pozuelo IN claims that Perez played football as a goalkeeper in his youth, and at the age of 15, he represented the team La Cuadrilla, which was composed of students from one of Madrid's schools. This claim is supported by a photograph, where Perez is the one on the far left.

Based on his age, we can assume these events took place in 1962 or 1963. During that time, a tournament was held between Madrid teams, and La Cuadrilla defeated Real and Atletico with a score of 2-0. It was then that "Los Blancos" representatives showed interest in the young goalkeeper, but nothing concrete materialized.
Reminder: Previously, it was revealed that Perez helped Barcelona register Dani Olmo.
