- Despite being only 37, Riquelme is eligible to stand as a Real Madrid member for over 20 years, having previously floated the idea of running in 2021 when he was 32.
- Former tennis player Rafael Nadal clarified on Wednesday that he would not participate in the race, dismissing rumors linking him to Real Madrid's presidential election following Perez's announcement.
- The 79-year-old president stated he will not resign, addressing the press after a season where Real Madrid will finish trophyless, noting that any eligible club member can run.
