Barcelona have demanded the resignation of LaLiga president Javier Tebas after it was claimed he produced fake evidence against them.

According to a story from La Vanguardia published on Monday, Tebas provided prosecutors with evidence that purported to implicate the club and two former presidents in the ongoing Negreira case.

According to allegations, Barcelona paid José Maria Enriquez Negreira's company, DASNIL 95 SL, more than €7 million for written reports and DVD evaluations of referees for the team before games. When Negreira served as vice-president of the Spanish football refereeing committee between 2001 and 2018, the payments are said to have been made.

According to the report, the documents issued by Tebas were part of another case, not linked to either of Barcelona's former presidents and were decades old, something the LaLiga chief called "false" on social media.

However, Barca are keen for a deeper explanation from Tebas and want him to issue his resignation.

"Barcelona, as president Joan Laporta has said in recent weeks, feel the victim of a media lynching based on events that have never occurred: Barca have never bought referees," a statement read.

"It is not the first time the president of LaLiga has used his media machinery to attack Barcelona but, aside from his usual nonsense, we could never have imagined he would have hoped to incriminate our club with false evidence.

"The news published by La Vanguardia is of such severity that it should alert all LaLiga clubs, as they are practices that should have no place in the functions attributed to the president of LaLiga. For this reason alone, but also out of dignity and respect for the presidency of LaLiga, Mr. Tebas should resign from his position.

"However, knowing his obsession with persecuting Barcelona and constantly showing his aversion and antipathy towards our club, we understand that he will persist in his behaviour of continuing to harm our club."
