· Yahoo Sports
Fresh tension has emerged behind the scenes at Real Madrid, with reports from SPORT claiming that senior figures within the club now suspect Santiago Solari of being responsible for leaking sensitive internal information.

According to the outlet, concerns inside the Bernabeu intensified after information regarding a possible restructuring within the club’s hierarchy became public.
The report suggested Madrid were considering significant changes, including the appointment of a sporting director role within the sporting department.
The leak caused major frustration internally and forced the club to publicly respond. Real Madrid later issued an official statement strongly denying the claims and describing the reports as “categorically false”.
What’s the story?
Within the club, suspicion has now fallen on Solari, whose current position at Madrid has become increasingly unclear in recent months.
Although he remains linked to the club and continues to appear regularly at important matches, he no longer holds a clearly defined day-to-day role beyond ambassadorial responsibilities.
That uncertainty has created discomfort. Club management has allegedly considered moving on from the former coach altogether, but Solari is understood to have requested more time while waiting for a new managerial opportunity elsewhere.

The situation has become even more delicate because Solari was previously considered as one of the options to temporarily take charge of the team in the post-Xabi Alonso era.
However, Real Madrid eventually chose to place their trust in Alvaro Arbeloa instead, a decision that reportedly changed Solari’s standing within the club.
Since then, there have apparently been growing fears inside Madrid that Solari could attempt to increase his influence within the sporting department.
Currently, the club’s key football decisions are handled by president Florentino Perez alongside trusted figures such as Jose Angel Sanchez, Juni Calafat and the head coach.
At Real Madrid, questioning the decisions of that inner circle is effectively viewed as questioning Florentino Perez himself, something that rarely goes unnoticed inside the club’s power structure.
So now, with internal pressure rising and uncertainty continuing around several areas of the club, it will be interesting to see the steps Real Madrid take in coming months.
