The Spanish FA president Rafael Louzan has revealed that Chief Florentino Perez of Real Madrid had threatened jokes to bring in English officials while looking for improved official standards in LaLiga.
Louzan, who was chosen last month as president of the Royal Spanish football federation, discussed concern about referee standards during an interview on the El Cafelito podcast.
He revealed that President Perez of Real Madrid was pronounced about his worries after the Negreira case in which Barcelona was involved.
Barcelona avoided last year to end up as the Spanish authorities investigated accusations. The club made payments to the then vice-president of the Commission of the Spanish referee, Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira.
It was claimed that Negreira, who would become vice -president of the technical committee of referees after his retirement, was paid € 532.728 (£ 473.340) in 2016, € 541.752 (£ 481.358) in 2017 and then a further € 318,200 (£ 282.95 ) in 2018.
Louzan, who admits that he has a good relationship with Perez, said that the president of Real Madrid has been 'persistent' in emphasizing his frustrations with poor official standards.
He added that Perez had threatened jokes to bring in English officials to referee the matches of the Spanish giant.
“My relationship with Florentino Perez, which was before, is good,” said Louzan.
'The thing is that Florentino explicitly states that he feels damage in the field of referee and so on.
'I tell him it [the Negreira case’] is in the hands of justice. What am I going to decide?
'He told me one day he would take English referees to whistle
“A year ago in Saudi Aarabia he took me aside and said:” You have to solve this problem of the referees that damages us and we have lost many titles because of the referees “.
Perez's proposal to bring in English officials comes despite controversies involving Premier League referees.
Referee Michael Oliver was confirmed that this weekend it became a Premier League match, despite the fact that they confronted the death threats and 'disgusting' abuse after controversial broadcast by Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Oliver, 39, and his family were subjected to threats in the aftermath of last Saturday at Wolves and the police started an investigation, in which the unit led the probe that is already in communication with social media companies.
The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the body responsible for officializing in England, said it was the police involved after Oliver, his partner and their young child were the target of nausea abuse of anonymous online trolls.
Arsenal won their appeal to cancel the suspension of Lewis-Skelly on Tuesday.
Earlier this season, referee David Coote was rejected as a Premier League officer after the rise of videos earlier in the year in which he called former Livepool boss Jurgen Klopp 'a German ****'.
Images also came forward and claimed to show that he sniffs a white powder through a rolled up banknote.
