A little while ago, the news broke like a bomb that Barcelona, when Bartomeu was president, paid 1.4 million euros to the former referee, Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira.
The strong man of the Catalan team, Joan Laportawas placed in the media and mentioned that it is no coincidence that all this has now come to light, that the “Blaugrana” are doing very well in the league.
His statements in detail:
“It is no coincidence that this type of information has come to light now that Barcelona are doing well. It is not coincidental. Given the information published, it should be mentioned that Barcelona have in the past hired external consultants for technical reports on players in lower divisions in Spain. In addition, the same consultants provided refereeing advice, which is quite normal in big clubs. In fact, today we have integrated this service, which belongs to the football department, into our organization chart”first reported and continued:
“The news is getting attention and it’s no coincidence that it came out at this time. From Barcelona’s point of view, any malicious, provocative interpretation that implies things that are not true will receive a corresponding and appropriate response from the club. We will take all necessary measures to defend the honor and interests of Barcelona.”
