In a stunning gesture that reflects both ambition and symbolism, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has reportedly gifted each first-team player a brand-new supercar, just days before the club begins what many are calling one of the most historic and transformative pre-seasons in the club’s recent memory.
The move, which insiders say was personally initiated by Pérez himself, is meant to “fuel the hunger and reward the loyalty” of the squad ahead of a crucial summer filled with high expectations, blockbuster signings, and a bold tactical overhaul under manager Carlo Ancelotti.
The cars — said to include models from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Aston Martin — were unveiled to the squad at a private event inside Valdebebas. One player reportedly shouted, “We’re not just Los Blancos anymore, we’re Los Rápidos,” as laughter erupted and the team celebrated the surprise gift.
A source close to the club revealed:
“Florentino sees this summer as a new era. The arrival of Kylian Mbappé, the emergence of Jude Bellingham as a central figure, and the ongoing evolution of the team demand a fresh mindset. These cars are symbolic — they represent speed, ambition, and the elite status this club demands.”
The gesture comes as Real Madrid prepare to head to the United States for their 2025 pre-season tour. Unlike previous years, this summer’s camp is expected to serve as the foundation of a new tactical identity. Gone is the dependence on the aging core that once included legends like Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos, and Luka Modrić. In its place, a younger, faster, more aggressive team is being forged, headlined by Mbappé, Bellingham, Vinícius Júnior, Eduardo Camavinga, and Aurélien Tchouaméni.
But Florentino Pérez’s surprise goes beyond cars — it’s also a message of unity and expectation.
Several players took to social media to thank the president. Vinícius Jr. posted a photo next to his new Ferrari with the caption: “This isn’t just a car. It’s a symbol. Let’s fly.” Jude Bellingham wrote: “Gifts are nice. Trophies are better. Let’s go to war.”
Even longtime captain Nacho Fernández, known for his calm demeanor, shared a rare public reaction, writing, “Leadership is not always about words. Sometimes it’s about showing your players that they matter. Thank you, president.”
Critics, however, have raised questions about the timing and optics of such a luxurious gesture, with some Spanish commentators suggesting the move may be excessive or even distracting. But fans in Madrid appear overwhelmingly in favor. Outside the Santiago Bernabéu, a growing crowd gathered to cheer as a convoy of supercars passed through the city center, many shouting “¡Gracias, presidente!” as horns and chants filled the air.
With just weeks to go before the season begins, Real Madrid is sending a loud, unmistakable message to Europe:
This is not a team resting on legacy. This is a club reborn — richer, faster, hungrier, and aiming for total domination.
And now, with the roar of engines joining the roar of the Bernabéu, the world waits to see just how far Los Blancos will go.
