Beyond the tweet, LaLiga later issued a statement to officially deny As’s information. “Before the article published by As, signed by Joaquín Maroto, with the title “The Madrid-Barça front opens a breach in the pact with CVC¨ , LaLiga wants to point out:
one) it is absolutely false that, as the publication affirms, nine First and Second clubs decline to receive almost 400 million from the LaLiga partner “until the judicial panorama is clarified & rdquor;
2) As has already been announced from LaLiga, the 38 Clubs adhered to LaLiga Impulso have signed the participatory loan and the 38 are working on the presentation of the business plans for the investment of the money.
3) From LaLiga Santander All the Clubs have presented the Investment Plan and received the funds, with the exception of a club that is still in the study phase of total investment in the stadium together with the City Council.
4) From LaLiga SmartBank all the Clubs have presented the Investment Plan and received the fundswith the exception of two clubs whose plans to cancel financial doubts are in the negotiation and study phase by LaLiga (the funds are not delivered until the cancellation conditions are closed).
5) No club of the 38 adhered to LaLiga Impulso has denied the investment. On the contrary, everyone remains united and committed to this plan that will help promote LaLiga as a whole. The aforementioned clubs that have not yet received payments is due to the review of the documentation.
Therefore, the content of the news published by AS is absolutely false, which once again it becomes a tool at the service of the interests of those who want to undermine the future of LaLiga for the benefit of their particular plans”.
