Barcelona continue to come under the microscope for their relationship with Enriquez Negreira, after the threats of the former Vice-President of the Technical Committee of Referees threatened the club.

 

In 2018, Barcelona communicated to his son, who was also heavily involved in their business together, that they would not be continuing their relationship, and Enriquez Negreira threatened them.

According to Cadena SER, he threatened ex-Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu with leaking information to the press."All the irregularities will come out," were his words, and he would later send a fax threatening the same action.

"Another scandal would not benefit you," said Negreira, implying he had insider information about wrongdoing in Barcelona.

"Without a second thought, all of the irregularities at the club that I have known and experienced firsthand will come out."

Another detail that has not been lost on many is the fact that shortly after Negreira lost his position on the Referees Committee, Barcelona decided to break off their relations with Dasnil 95, Negreira, and his son, who were the major players in that club.

The payments supposedly reached €7 million over a period of 17 years, and the question being asked in Spain is exactly what kind of irregularities he was referring to. Without clarity on the issue, it threatens to muddy Barcelona’s image and achievements indefinitely.

Chelsea defender Koulibaly tribute to Tuchel: He wanted me at PSG

Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly has paid tribute to former manager Thomas Tuchel.

Koulibaly has revealed Tuchel was keen on him at PSG.

In an interview with Bein Sport, the 31-year-old central defender said: “I had the chance to play against him.

"There was a Napoli-PSG when he was in Paris. And we had two draws. After the match, we spoke and he congratulated me. He told me I was a great player. Subsequently, he tried to recruit me to PSG.

"It didn't happen, but at Chelsea it did. He was really enthusiastic and I too was happy to work with him. It's a shame it didn't last very long. But he was very important in my arrival at Chelsea and I have to thank him."
