Real Madrid under investigation

Any truth to this hmm

Until now it was just rumours. Simple speculation to serve as an alarm for Europe's biggest clubs after FIFA branded Barcelona with a transfer ban and a fine for the way they signed minors.

Real Madrid, among others, were said to be in the spotlight of world football's governing body, but "much ado about nothing" was the word on FIFA's investigation.

But now Los Blancos are in the firing line from Joseph Blatter and his men.

The FIFA president has contacted around 20 clubs in the Madrid community, all of whom have a collaboration agreement with Madrid, to demand information about the signings of underage players they have made.

FIFA's moves have quickly forced a reaction from Madrid, who have already seen Barcelona end up with a transfer ban for the whole of 2015.

Florentino Perez, the club's president, has been quick to contact the clubs and players involved to make sure they do not make any information official until they have had a conversation with Madrid.

Los Blancos want to keep the situation that has already cost Barcelona under control. FIFA are following their footsteps.

Was only a matter of time honestly. It should be very interesting to see how this plays out.

Perez is too smart to be caught with stuff like this. He will work it out somehow

And you are basing this on an article by Sport Laughing

Call me up when a real paper picks up the story.

Hm. Wasn't there some club a while ago who allegedly wanted to sign a toddler due to some YouTube video? hmm

If the only source for this is Sport I am very skeptical

We have been under investigation for this for a very long time along with some other spanish clubs but I don't think they have found anything concrete that would stick

They're just asking for the details of our youth transfers (and almost all the other top clubs' including Valencia, Sevilla and Atleti). If there's something there, too bad for us.

Flo is a lot smarter than those clowns that Barca has on top though. He only goes up to the line if he is legally well covered. He doesn't do anything remotely blatant, which is the strange thing about Barca tbh.
