Who appears in the documentary ‘the Figo case, the signing of the century’
One of the most important parts of this video has to do with the testimonies of the direct protagonists of those negotiations, which ended with the payment of Figo’s clause by Real Madrid. The transfer, closed at 60 million euros, became one of the most expensive of the time. In addition to the footballer himself, the two presidents of Real Madrid and Barcelona at that time participated. Statements by both Florentino Pérez (who continues to chair the Concha Espina club) and Joan Gaspart, who led the Arístides Mallol entity from 2000 to 2003, will appear in this documentary. On the other hand, one of the key pieces of this operation also appears: José Veiga. This is a fundamental figure to be able to understand the case, since he was the one who negotiated the arrivals of the midfielder , both to Barcelona and Real Madrid. Since 2004, he has not been a representative of the football team. Another of the most striking characters that appear in this documentary is Paulo Futre. One of the myths of Portuguese football and Atlético de Madrid was involved in the operation that brought Figo to Real Madrid . The Portuguese acted as an intermediary and had a direct role in these negotiations. in addition, the changing room of FC Barcelona in the early years of the 20th century is also represented. Pep Guardiola, current Manchester City manager and former teammate of Figo, appears in the documentary . In fact, he speaks in the trailer broadcast by Netflix, reflecting that the departure of one of the Barça leaders to Madrid was very surprising.
