Piqué to Rubiales in the negotiation for the Super Cup: “We give 8 million to Madrid, 8 to Barcelona and you have 6 kilos left”

The Spanish Super Cup held in Saudi Arabia was won by Real Madrid last January. More than three months after the final, El Confidencial announced that the Royal Spanish Football Federation and Kosmos, of which Gerard Piqué is co-owner and CEO, agreed to a million-dollar commission to carry out said competition on Saudi lands.

The newspaper published audios of the conversations held between the president of the RFEF, Luis Rubiales, and the Barça player and documents on the contract signed for six years with the Saudi public company, Sela, which assured the RFEF the amount of 40 million euros for each edition and 4 for Kosmos.

The information indicates that Rubiales and Piqué began the search for a stadium for the Super Cup dispute in March 2019, before the president of the RFEF proposed to Real Madrid the possibility of it being in his stadium, although the idea was that was played at the Cam Nou.

“Since Madrid is going to tell me no, that comes from the f***ing mother to justify us for the future and we say that it is the stadium with the most capacity [el Camp Nou]which is the league champion [el FC Barcelona]… I think we have legitimacy”, is heard in one of the audios.

In another of them, the Barça player addresses the president of the RFEF in these terms: “Let’s see, Rubi, if it’s a matter of money, if they (Real Madrid) would go for 8, hell, man, you pay eight to Madrid and eight to Barça… the others are paid 2 and 1… .there are 19, and you keep the Federation six kilos, uncle. Before you keep nothing, you keep six kilos. And we put pressure on Saudi Arabia and maybe we’ll get it out… we tell it that if not, Madrid won’t go… and we’ll get one more stick or two more sticks…”.

Also in another recording of September 15, 2019, the president of the RFEF congratulates Piqué, for the closing of the agreement for the Super Cup to be played in Arabia from January 2020.

“Geri, congratulations. And I’m not referring to yesterday’s great game or your goal. I mean that it is already after 12 o’clock and therefore the agreement with Saudi Arabia is firm. A hug, thanks for everything and here I am for whatever you need”affirms Rubiales

On the 14th, the RFEF reported having suffered a computer attack in the framework of a “organized criminal action aimed at the subsequent disclosure of secrets through the distribution of confidential documentation with a clear spurious intention” and in which they would have stolen documents, conversations and private audios from its president and general secretary.
