Tomás Roncero asks Florentino to 'bring back' a Real Madrid legend

The well-known journalist sent a curious request to Florentino Pérez through an opinion article

After bringing the 2024/25 season to a close, Real Madrid will have about three weeks of vacation ahead to recharge. In August, the team will return under Xabi Alonso's orders to prepare for the league opener against CA Osasuna. However, as reported by "Defensa Central", the club could have a special preseason that would culminate with the famous Trofeo Bernabéu.

The friendly tournament, which takes place at Santiago Bernabéu, was created in 1979 and was last played in 2018 against AC Milan. However, in recent seasons, it hasn't been possible to play this match due to Real Madrid's excessive commitments. In fact, last season, at that time, Real Madrid was playing the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta.

Recover the Trofeo Bernabéu?

In recent hours, Tomás Roncero has insisted in the pages of the newspaper AS on bringing back the well-known Trofeo Bernabéu. "Since everything stays at home, I suggest that a few days before the league debut, on the 13th or 14th, the Trofeo Bernabéu could be scheduled. It would also reach its 40th edition, a round number", the journalist commented.

"There wouldn't be any need to get on a plane and, on top of that, it would serve, as in the old days, to present the new signings: Trent, Huijsen, Álvaro Carreras, and Mastantuono", Tomás Roncero indicated.

Luka Modric's return to Santiago Bernabéu?

Additionally, Tomás Roncero suggests that the Trofeo Bernabéu match could be against AC Milan again. That would mean Luka Modric, who is no longer part of Real Madrid's squad, would return to Santiago Bernabéu playing with the Italian side.

"It could even be repeated with Milan, because with Luka Modric in its ranks, Bernabéu would be too small", Tomás Roncero explained.

However, the communicator's message doesn't end there. Tomás Roncero also requested another club for the Trofeo Bernabéu 2025. "Or invite Cristiano's Al Nassr; imagine the madness there would be to attend the Portuguese star's return", he wrote.

Without a doubt, Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Santiago Bernabéu would be extremely special. It's an event many Madridists have been waiting for and, with the return of the Trofeo Bernabéu, it could happen without any problems.
