Carles Naval

Carles Naval is the first-team delegate for FC Barcelona. He has recently become newsworthy due to his testimony as a witness in the ongoing Negreira case. This case investigates payments of over 7 million euros made by FC Barcelona to José María Enríquez Negreira, the former vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA), over several years. The club claims these payments were for reports on referees. Naval's testimony before the judge focused on his role in receiving these reports. His involvement highlights the club's internal processes regarding referee analysis and the scrutiny they are currently under due to the allegations of improper influence.
