Another requirement is to present a guarantee of 187 million euros, which is equivalent to fifteen percent of the club’s annual budget, which must be backed by personal assets.

Pérez confirmed in his appearance before the media on Tuesday that he will run for re-election, and the question is whether businessman Enrique Riquelme, president of the Cox group, will run, who assured from Mexico City yesterday, Wednesday, that he will make a decision “in the coming days.”
