Seems slightly odd to me that all of these stories have only materialized after he's left Real Madrid
Any chance they were somehow suppressing them or knew they were coming?
I don't think they could have actively suppressed them. But given the timing of it just before his move there they were probably aware of the allegation and the settlement, and given the #MeToo stuff with so many of these cases becoming public after years they may well have guessed this would happen.
