"Perez claims that Neymar had a medical in 2013 but he actually didn't? What's the purpose? It would be a straight up lie and Perez doesn't gain anything from it."
He gains many things like pride, saying he the one who rejected Neymar signings not the other way around, justifying to angry Madrididtas why he lost signing Neymar's to Barcelona. That's just off the top of my head.
While Bartomeu lied about a mega business transaction to justify his failure to find a plan B. He said Liverpool asked for an unreasonable amount of money when the fact is FSG released a public statement saying Coutinho wasn't for sale.
Perez made that statement this year in June, not in 2013. There is no reason for Madridistas to be angry about anything in 2017 which would force Perez to save face with such a straight up lie. Anyhow, Perez is the man who said "STFU" when fans were crying for Özil to stay during Bale's presentation, kicked out fan favourite Ancelotti to hire Benitez etc. As if Perez needed to justify anything to anyone.
People said the same about Perez lying in 2013 when he said the total cost of Neymar would have been € 150 million and that's why Real didn't sign him. Now we all know Perez was actually right and the € 57 million figure was a joke.
Congrats on your marrige dude
Thanks.
