JAKARTA - The transfer issue is developing this summer. Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez is a hot commodity in LaLiga. Barcelona has already shown interest, as has Real Madrid who have made an official bid.
The transfer rivalry has made the relationship between Real Madrid and Barcelona even more tense. As is known, the President of Los Blancos, Florentino Perez, recently sent documents to UEFA asking to investigate the Blaugrana for the payments made to the former Vice President of the Spanish Referee Association (CTA), Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira.
Barcelona paid a company linked to Negreira more than 7 million euros ($8.1 million) between 2001 and 2018, but said it was for reports analysing referees and technical advice.
Barcelona's interim president Rafa Yuste hit back by saying the Blaugrana would fight back by taking legal action themselves.
"Real Madrid cannot accept all the titles we have won. Our legal department has prepared the actions we will take against them and against their president (Real Madrid)."
"He has used slander to destabilize us. We will meet them in court. No one will tarnish the name of Barcelona."
"We will take care of it. We will go after them because we have the advantage. Do you really think they can threaten us by saying they have sent 500 pages to UEFA? You will see," said Yuste.
Real Madrid's filing said Negreira's case reflected systemic referee corruption to the benefit of Barcelona and called on UEFA to consider sporting sanctions, stripping titles and potentially excluding them from European tournaments.
