Los Blancos were reportedly in the frame for the 2020 Golden Boy after starring for Borussia Dortmund in the past two seasons.
There were reports that Haaland's agent and father met with both Madrid and Barcelona last year over potential transfers, but the striker decided to join Manchester City.
Perez has revealed they didn't sign the new Man City recruit as they already have the striker in the world, Karim Benzema.
"We have the best 9 in the world and we weren't going to bring Haaland to have him on the bench, right? Clause in two years? I don't know," Perez said in an interview with Spanish TV program El Chringuito.
"Now we have no more interest than forming the new team with the youngsters we have and some reinforcements".
Perez also added that Los Blancos might be done with transfers following the arrival of Antonio Rudiger and Aurelien Tchouameni.
"For the moment we have stopped, because we don't have any more room. Now all the work remains, which is July and August, to see which players come out... Asensio? The sports director is José Ángel, he will decide," he added.
Here are 10 confirmed transfers for the 2022/23 season:
