Real Valladolid, under the leadership of former Ballon d'Or Ronaldo, decided to strongly oppose Manchester City. The two clubs find themselves at the heart of a controversy which could soon take a legal turn. If the details remain unclear for the general public, Valladolid accuses the English giant of having crossed a red line in their relations.
A case linked to a young talent
According to published revelations, the conflict stems from the unexpected departure of Juma Bah, a promising young defender from Valladolid. Aged 19, Bah left the Spanish club after activating his termination clause, without prior warning. The leaders of Valladolid, furious, point the finger at Manchester City as the instigator of this maneuver.
In an official press release, Valladolid accuses the City Football Group of having advised Bah and his agent in this breakup:
“We consider that this action places our club in a vulnerable position and that it was orchestrated behind the scenes.”
Ronaldo in conflict with Manchester City?
The circumstances surrounding Juma Bah's departure raise questions. Valladolid claims the player had recently refused to sign a review of his contract, which would have increased his termination clause. According to the club, this decision was influenced by third parties, making the situation all the more problematic.
Possible legal action for Manchester City
Ronaldo and his legal teams plan to take the matter to court. A legal battle could begin, with alleged questionable practices by Manchester City and the City Football Group in the crosshairs.
While the affair continues to generate ink, it once again illustrates the growing tensions between modest clubs and the major financial powers of world football.
