adminTop sports daily Marca splashed on the front page its claim of an ultimatum delivered to chairman Florentino Perez on Tuesday.
“President, it’s Mou or us,” headlined the paper in its account of the meeting between captains Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos and the club management.
According to the paper, they told Perez that several players were ready to leave the club if the self-anointed “Special One” remained in charge for the next season.
But the club said the claims were false.
“The meeting took place but not the topic of conversation described by Marca,” said a spokesman.
“What Marca said is false.”
Perez was scheduled to hold a news conference on the matter yesterday in the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid goalkeeper and captain Casillas fractured the thumb in his left hand during Wednesday’s King’s Cup quarter-final second leg in Valencia, the Spanish club said yesterday.
The 31-year-old was forced off the pitch 16 minutes into the contest after team mate Alvaro Arbeloa accidentally kicked his hand as he attempted a clearance.
“After carrying out initial x-rays at the La Moraleja Sanitas Hospital it has been confirmed that the footballer Iker Casillas has suffered a fracture at the base of the first metacarpal on his left hand,” the club said in a statement. — AFP.
