Barcelona have demanded the resignation of LaLiga president Javier Tebas.

In a statement released today, Barca are insisting Tebas leave the post given his alleged constant attacks on the club amid the Negreira investigation.

Barca announced:

"Given the seriousness of the information that appeared today Monday in La Vanguardia, in which the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, is linked as the executor in presenting false evidence to the Prosecutor's Office to incriminate our Club, FC Barcelona wishes to express its deep anger, indignation and weariness.

"For this reason, we urgently require the president of LaLiga to appear publicly to offer explanations, beyond the tweet sent at dawn by Mr. Tebas, fleeing from the studio and with a threatening patina.

"FC Barcelona, as president Joan Laporta has been saying in recent weeks, feels like the victim of a media lynching for events that have never happened: Bara has never bought referees.

"A handful of media and opinion-makers have participated in this harassment with more or less bad intentions, and with LaLiga behind the scenes fanning the fire against our Club, with contributions from its president that have only gone in one direction: trying to condemn us before public opinion before for the facts to be judged.

"It is not the first time that the president of LaLiga has used all his media machinery to blow up FC Barcelona but, apart from his usual nonsense, we could never have imagined that he would have tried to incriminate our Club with false evidence.

"The news published today by La Vanguardia is so serious that it should alert all LaLiga clubs, due to practices that do not fit in with the functions attributed to the president of LaLiga.

"Only for this fact, that of attributing functions that do not correspond to him, although also out of dignity and respect for the presidency of LaLiga, Mr. Tebas should resign from his function. However, aware of his obsession with persecuting FC Barcelona and constantly showing his aversion and manifest antipathy towards our Club, we understand that the current president of LaLiga will persist in his behavior of continuing to harm our Club."
