Perez Exposes Internal Leaks at Real Madrid Over Valverde-Chukamela Confrontation
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez blamed an internal leak for publicizing a confrontation between players Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni, vowing to investigate who disclosed the incident that resulted in fines for both playe
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez commented on an incident between teammates Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni, alleging that someone within the club leaked the story to media outlets.
Valverde sustained a head injury from the incident and required stitches at a hospital. Real Madrid subsequently issued fines of 500,000 euros each to both players, though Valverde claimed his injury was accidental and that no physical altercation occurred.
Perez stated: "We know who leaked this. Let me handle it myself. What happened is bad, but it's worse when it becomes public. Leaking this is a serious matter. Valverde and Chukamela are friends—these things happen all the time. I've been with this club for 26 seasons and there are player confrontations every year. But there's a snake in the club spreading this information."
