•  Yesterday, during the Divisional Meeting, the majority of LaLiga Clubs expressed their deep concern about this case, which they consider to be of the utmost seriousness, so the proposal for a joint statement received the unanimous support of all LaLiga SmartBank clubs and all LaLiga Santander clubs except for two, who objected to this joint statement for different reasons.
• LaLiga and the clubs Executive Committee reject and condemn the facts, and are deeply concerned and actively working to clarify any irregularities that may have occurred around the Negreira case, whether of a sporting or any other nature.
