LaLiga Santander, Barcelona and Girona ask Spanish federation to let them play in Miami Football A letter from all was sent

In the next move in the chess game to determine whether or not a LaLiga Santander game can take place in the United States, a letter has been sent to the Spanish football federation to get their permission.

Javier Tebas, Josep Maria Bartomeu and Defli Geli, the presidents of the league, Barcelona and Girona, all signed a letter written to the RFEF asking them to authorise the change of venue for Gerona-Barcelona in week 21.

They ask that instead of playing at Montilivi, they play at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

It comes in the wake of LaLiga Santander winning the support of the AFEPE, which brings together the federations of clubs after they approved the compensation plan for local fans who have season tickets.

In addition, the players union held a meeting with Tebas, in which both institutions gave their views.

Having now achieved a certain unanimity among the various players involved, the interested clubs and the league have now asked the Federation to authorise the change in schedule and commit to a historic fixture.

The ball is now with the court of RFEF president Luis Rubiales, who has already publicly announced that he doesn't want to allow it.

Negotiations are set to be intense.
