The president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Rafael Lusan, has addressed comparisons between Barcelona's Negreira case and the financial irregularities investigation involving Manchester City, urging everyone to await official court decisions.
In a conversation with AS during a friendly match featuring Spain's Under-20 team against Mexico, Lusan remarked on the futility of premature speculation regarding the English club:
There's no need for speculation. We'll discuss this once a decision has been reached regarding Manchester City. I have plenty of matters requiring attention here,
Turning his focus to the Negreira case, which falls more directly under Spanish football's jurisdiction, Lusan emphasised the necessity for justice to be served swiftly:
As for the other case, it is closer to my responsibilities, and we've previously highlighted the importance of achieving justice as quickly as possible. I believe it's crucial to put an end to the narrative that continually uses the Negreira case as an excuse. This should never have happened. Let justice take its course, and we will be watching closely.
In conclusion, Lusan characterised the current moment as a 'golden age' and a peak period of prosperity for Spanish football, urging all involved to learn from past mistakes.
