The president of UEFA, Aleksander Ceferin, has spoken out about the “Negreira case.”
“As far as I am told, the situation is extremely serious. So serious that it is, in my opinion, one of the most serious in football since I have been involved in it,” he said.
However, Ceferin did admit he does not all the details.
“Of course, I cannot comment directly on this for two reasons. Firstly, because we have an independent disciplinary committee. And secondly, because I have not dealt with this matter in detail,” he explained.
FC Barcelona is in hot water over payments given to José María Enríquez Negreira, vice-president of the referee committee in Spain.
