Florentino Pérez has made it very clear in recent years that nothing pleases him more than attacking FC Barcelona's core. However, with Dani Olmo, he keeps an attitude contrary to his usual strategic line.
The president of Real Madrid went all out in the Negreira case by appearing as a private prosecutor and an aggrieved party. From his own media outlet, Florentino Pérez hasn't stopped his constant attacks against Barça.
The Best Barça President... for Real Madrid
However, the white club keeps in a very significant silence in the Olmo case. Meanwhile, other clubs like Atlético, Athletic and Sevilla, have directly pressured to harm Barça.
Real Madrid's "neutral" stance in the Olmo case has its explanation. The white president is aware of the situation Joan Laporta is facing. He is currently being threatened with a motion of no confidence, which could force him to leave the presidency.
That's the last thing Florentino Pérez wants, as he has found in Joan Laporta his best ally as a rival. Disastrous in his management at Barça and submissive in his interests with the Super League.
Madrid is Delighted with Joan Laporta
Florentino Pérez won't collaborate in the operation to harass and bring down Joan Laporta's Barça because he doesn't want a change in its presidency. Real Madrid is delighted to see Laporta leading Barça again.
The belligerent attitude Laporta suffers from Madrid comes from media outlets close to Florentino Pérez. Even so, under no circumstances will a statement come from the white president's mouth that could harm Laporta. That's what the useful pawns are for.
Relevo has reported that Florentino Pérez once said among friends: "Barcelona must be left alone: It's our partner, not a rival." That's precisely what Real Madrid is doing.
The Dirty Work is Done by Others for Florentino
Moreover, Real Madrid doesn't need to get involved. The dirty work is already being done by Atlético de Madrid, Athletic de Bilbao and Sevilla.
Real Madrid hasn't lifted a finger, neither in the Federation nor in LaLiga, to ensure Barça is harmed in the Olmo case. Laporta is very grateful to Florentino.
This explains Real Madrid's attitude in the Olmo case. Neither in the offices, nor with the technical staff, nor in the locker room. No one has said a word on the matter.
