A Real Madrid legend publicly calls on FIFA president Gianni Infantino to resign amid growing controversy over plans linked to the commercial structure of the World Cup. According to reporting from The Independent and NDTV, the former player directs criticism at Infantino, characterizing his actions as deceptive, and says the FIFA president should step down. Both outlets link the backlash to Infantino’s efforts to sell stakes or bring in private investors tied to the World Cup, a move they describe as having faced opposition and being thwarted. The coverage portrays Infantino as facing intense pressure and reputational damage, with calls for his removal gaining momentum following the fallout around the proposed sale of stakes. While details of the specific proposal and the reasons it is blocked are not expanded consistently across the reports provided, the shared focus is the political and public pushback against Infantino and the argument that he no longer has sufficient support to continue leading FIFA.
