The president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, considered this Wednesday in an interview with the Catalan newspaper L’Esportiu that the renewal of Kylian Mbappé’s contract with PSG “distorts the market” and it goes “against all the principles of the European Union”.
“This distorts the market. The players end up being kidnapped for the money. They are the effects of a club that has a State behind it,” Laporta said in an interview broadcast by the Catalan sports newspaper L’Esportiu.
“This goes against all the principles of the European Union. It is a reflection on the sustainability of football in Europe,” added the Barça president.
“Then there is the reading that can be done from Barça. There is a direct rival that does not come out reinforced and we prefer that he can’t kick us when it comes to competing”, said Laporta, referring to Real Madrid.
“But I am left with the reflection regarding the sustainability of football because I think that we should not worry so much about a rival either. We must worry about having a competitive team, which is what we are trying to do,” said the Barcelona president.
The Catalan club positioned itself to try to sign the 23-year-old French striker, who ended up renewing his contract with PSG on Saturdaybut the Mbappé clan closed the door on him.
