Barcelona has initiated a conciliation demand against Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez, a mandatory precursor to filing a criminal complaint that could land one of football's most powerful figures in court.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona is preparing to accuse Pérez of alleged irregularities, widely believed to be tied to the ongoing Negreira referee scandal.
