CONFIRMED: The Madrid stole to Gave Stéfano of Barcelona

Alfredo gave Stéfano had to have played in the FC Barcelona and no in the Real Madrid. Like this it confirms it the new documentation found in the offices of River Plate, club that possessed the rights of the Argentinian player, in which they appear comprobantes of payment of the Barcelona club for fichar to the talentoso footballer.

As it publishes the newspaper 'El País', Gave Stéfano, that in that period was a member of the Millionaires of Bogota as yielded by River Plate until 15 October 1954, was deprived of recalar in the Barça in spite of that the Barcelona club already had made the first entry of the traspaso to the Argentinian club.

The Catalan club accepted in a principle the measure but some weeks later renounced to his services and sold his rights to the eternal rival. "This was a humiliation for the Barça. They put all the fetters of the world so that the Barça could not fichar to Gave Stéfano when it had followed the statutory pipe negotiating with River Plate, his legitimate owner", says Jordi Finestres, journalist and coautor of the book "The case Gave Stéfano".

"The Barça comandado by the Hungarian Ladislao Kubala (European star of the moment) was winning it all and the Real Madrid did not win a League from 1933. A Barça with Kubala and Gave Stéfano scared a lot to the centralist and francoist Spain of the period", continues with clarity.

The truth, to the discovered

Of this form confirms that the Barça had made the first payment of the traspaso of Alfredo Gave Stéfano to River Plate, instrument possessor of his rights, and that the manoeuvre of the Real Madrid with Millionaires broke the agreement signed between the culés and the team of Buenos Aires, by what the 'Saeta Blond' never had to dress of white.
