The long-running Negreira case has once again ignited tensions at the very top of Spanish football, with a public and unusually sharp exchange between La Liga president Javier Tebas and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
After Perez voiced strong criticism regarding what he described as “passivity” in the judicial handling of the case, Tebas took his time before responding.
When he finally did, his reply was anything but restrained.
Using his personal X account, the La Liga president directly addressed Perez and dismissed his claims with a tone that left little room for interpretation.
Opening his response, Tebas urged caution against what he views as a distorted version of events.
“Don’t let them spin the story for you, president,” Tebas begins in his post.
From there, Tebas moved into a detailed explanation of how judicial procedures actually function, pushing back against the idea that La Liga had failed to act decisively.
Tebas then turned the focus squarely back on Real Madrid, questioning the club’s timing and suggesting that responsibility for any perceived delay lies closer to home.
Que no te construyan el relato, presidente.
