Florentino Perez will declare his candidacy for the Real Madrid presidency once the elections are scheduled.

AS says despite the lack of official word from Perez, the former Real supremo has been actively working on his return since mid-January.

But he won't go public with his plans until current president Vicente Boluda sets a date for the elections.

Perez already has Zinedine Zidane and former Real sports chief Jorge Valdano lined up to be part of his football staff.
