Real Madrid – Barça: Florentino Pérez Reportedly Helped Barcelona Register Dani Olmo.
On the pitch, they are eternal rivals, but behind the scenes, they sometimes work together. According to Catalunya Radio, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez recently lent a big helping hand to his Barcelona counterpart, Joan Laporta.
A Favor with Hidden Motives?
The influential Madrid president allegedly contacted Spain’s Superior Sports Council (CSD) to help facilitate Dani Olmo’s registration in La Liga, at a time when league officials were blocking the move.
However, this wasn’t just an act of generosity towards Barça. Pérez’s main goal? To undermine La Liga president Javier Tebas, with whom he has been at odds for years.
Strategic Battles Off the Pitch
This episode highlights how off-field power plays between La Liga’s two giants can be just as intense as their on-field battles.
