MADRID, July 14: Real Madrid has called on UEFA to consider stripping Barcelona of the trophies won during the period under investigation in the Negreira case, according to reports in the Spanish media, in the latest escalation of tensions between the two La Liga giants.

Spanish outlet AS reported that Real Madrid remains determined to take the matter to the end through both sporting and legal avenues, with relations between the two clubs at an all-time low and no sign of reconciliation.

The Madrid-based club has continued its legal efforts in the Negreira case while also approaching football governing bodies, including UEFA, over possible sporting consequences.

Real Madrid has asked the court to require Barcelona to provide its complete compliance and internal oversight framework from 2010 to 2018, in order to examine the measures in place to prevent sporting corruption and whether they were properly enforced.

The club has also requested financial records, payment approvals, internal procedures and audit documents linked to the companies Tresep, Radamanto and Best Norton, claiming the documents were previously requested but have not been included in the case file.

Real Madrid is reportedly determined to maintain pressure on both the sporting and legal fronts until a verdict is reached in the Negreira investigation.
