Madrid signed glamorous, well-known footballers, but failed to consistently win trophies. Since Perez came back into power in 2009, the club have followed a similar transfer policy, signing marketable stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, James Rodrguez and Gareth Bale.
Marquez claims Bale is essentially untouchable, and Perez dictates he must play when fit.
"The only clash he (Perez) had with (former coach Carlo) Ancelotti was over Bale. He thinks that Bale is the best in the world. He doesn't know how to take care of the Ballon d'Or winner which he already has in the squad. Bale is going to play wherever he likes."
Marquez also claims that Ronaldo is potentially preparing to leave the Bernabeu. The Portuguese forward recently sold his image rights to Peter Lin, Valencia owner,
"One day [Perez] will need to explain why Cristiano works for another company outside of Real Madrid. Imagine Cristiano generating €40 million elsewhere and giving it to Peter Lim, Valencia’s owner. It ends up in Valencia’s coffers and that’s deplorable.
"Will anyone speak out and ask Florentino why Cristiano has sold his image rights to Peter Lim?
"That’s not normal; it suggests that Cristiano is planning to leave."
What's for certain, is that neither Casillas or Maquez will be getting a Christmas card from Perez.
