Real Madrid’s latest troubles don’t seem to be staying strictly on the pitch. Fresh reports point to a different kind of instability—one unfolding inside the club’s structure, where harmony is supposedly starting to slip.
According to Misryoum, there are increasing signs that internal harmony is breaking down. The reporting describes friction between Jose Angel Sanchez, the club’s general manager, and Anas Laghrari, a close advisor to president Florentino Perez. And yes, it’s happening at a sensitive time for the club—when every decision, big or small, lands louder than usual.
Last year, Perez presented a proposal during the General Assembly aimed at reshaping Real Madrid’s business structure. That move hasn’t been universally welcomed internally, and since then, persistent rumours have swirled about disagreements over the club’s long-term direction. The board doesn’t look like it’s operating in a calm line anymore—more like people talking over each other, or maybe just not agreeing quickly enough.
What’s the story now? The situation has been further complicated by recent speculation that Madrid are looking to appoint a new sporting director. The club officially denied those claims, but the fact that such reports have surfaced only adds to the sense of uncertainty around decision-making at the boardroom level. There’s a kind of feedback loop there: rumours gain oxygen, then the pressure makes everyone more defensive. Real Madrid are facing problems within the boardroom level.
It’s not only staffing talk. Misryoum also points to Laghrari’s growing influence as a talking point. The financier has been involved in key strategic areas, including advising on the financing of the renovated Bernabeu and playing a role in ideas linked to the European Super League project. His presence on official trips with the team reportedly caused discomfort among sections of the fanbase. At one point, you can almost hear the mood shift—at the stadium, you’d catch the murmur before kickoff, that restless shuffle in the stands, like people already know something’s wrong.
Another issue is his past involvement in advising Barcelona on financial matters, something that has not gone down well with Madrid supporters. Meanwhile, despite the noise, Real Madrid have denied that Jose Angel Sanchez is set to leave at the end of the season. It’s a denial, sure, but with a crucial clash against Bayern Munich looming—and the possibility of ending the season without silverware—the pressure is mounting. Actually, the pressure might already be doing half the work, because if results don’t turn quickly, nobody stays patient for long. And then everyone starts asking the same question again: what’s the plan, and who really owns it?
