At the Camp Nou offices, it was noticed that they were all from the same company and had the same due date. In total, the club owed €699,380 to Business Futbol España, a company owned by football agent Junior Minguella, son of Josep Maria Minguella. Seven invoices totaling €217,800 had a due date of November 15, 2020. Twelve invoices worth €179,080 were dated October 15, 2020. And one invoice for €302,500 was dated February 15, 2011. These were invoices for intermediation services related to the loan or transfer of footballers who had been in the Barcelona youth academy, such as goalkeeper Adrià Ortolà, full-back Mateu Morey, midfielder Marcus McGuane, and forward Rafa Mujica. In reality, these were irregular invoices. At the time, <em>The Newspaper</em> It was reported that this invoicing concealed the payment of "10 million to the intermediaries" involved in the transfer of Malcom Silva de Oliveira to Barça, signed from Girondins de Bordeaux in the summer of 2018. In reality, however, all that money was never paid because, with Joan Laporta's arrival as president in March 2020, they were arrested. "Barça does not agree and rejects the correction of said invoices and states that it has not proceeded with their payment," the club explained in response to a court order.</p>]]></description>
