Real Madrid are reportedly exploring the possibility of leaving La Liga and joining another league due to ongoing disputes with league president Javier Tebas and refereeing decisions.
Los Blancos, the most successful club in La Liga history with 36 titles, are currently leading the league table ahead of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
However, tensions have escalated following a series of perceived injustices against the club.
The latest controversy arose during their 1-1 draw with Osasuna, where Jude Bellingham was sent off for dissent. Reports suggest he could face a 12-game suspension if his remarks are deemed insulting.
According to SPORT, Real Madrid view Tebas as their “number one enemy,” accusing him of leading a campaign against the club.
The report claims that Serie A (Italy), the Bundesliga (Germany), and Ligue 1 (France) could be potential destinations for the 15-time European champions, though the Premier League has not been mentioned as an option.
A move away from Spain’s top flight would be a complex process requiring approval from FIFA, UEFA, and La Liga itself.
Real Madrid would need authorization from the respective league they wish to join, making such a transition highly difficult.
The reigning Champions League holders have already escalated their complaints about officiating in Spain.
Earlier this month, they lodged a formal protest with the Spanish Football Federation after a controversial 1-0 loss to Espanyol.
Fans on social media have expressed support for the club’s potential exit, with many urging Real Madrid to request “asylum” in another top European league.
However, La Liga’s approval would be crucial, as losing its biggest club would have significant financial and commercial implications.
Real Madrid’s ongoing dispute with Tebas could also reignite their push for the European Super League (ESL).
