Real Madrid is escalating its campaign regarding the Negreira case, submitting a comprehensive dossier to UEFA. Club president Florentino Pérez is prioritizing this initiative, aiming for a sporting response to allegations concerning Barcelona's payments to José María Enríquez Negreira, a former vice-president of Spain’s Technical Committee of Referees. Real Madrid's document contains legal and sporting arguments, supported by evidence, advocating for disciplinary action.

The move comes amidst an improving relationship between Real Madrid and UEFA, despite past disagreements over the Super League. UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin previously labeled the Negreira affair "the most serious case" in football. Real Madrid is reportedly seeking a potential ban from European competitions for Barcelona and the removal of titles won during the investigation period. UEFA had paused its own investigation in 2023, awaiting developments in the Spanish judicial system, but Real Madrid's submission intends to reignite European scrutiny.
