The Spanish League has filed two complaints with UEFA against Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City “for violating the rules of financial fair play,” the Spanish championship announced on Wednesday.
LaLiga, the body that governs the Spanish championship, filed a complaint against Manchester City in April and now another against PSG “for understanding that these clubs are continuously breaching the current financial fair play regulations.”
“We have already denounced Manchester City and this week we will do it with PSG“, had advanced on Monday, the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, in an act.
Thebes then alluded to operations such as the renewal of Kylian Mbappé by PSG.
According to Mbappé’s new contract with PSG, the club will pay between 40 and 50 million euros (between 42 and 52 million dollars) per year to the player in salary for each of the three seasons he has signed.
“Consenting to this type of off-market operation is outrageous,” Tebas affirmed, assuring that “I’m not doing it to defend Real Madrid, but for European football. only for Real Madrid or Spanish football”.
“These practices alter the ecosystem and the sustainability of football, harm all European clubs and leagues, and only serve to artificially inflate the market, with money not generated in football itself,” LaLiga said in a statement on Wednesday.
The organism that presides over Thebes, considers that “the irregular financing of these clubs It is done, either through direct injections of money or through sponsorship contracts and other types that do not correspond to market conditions or make economic sense”.
Along with these actions, LaLiga has also hired lawyers in France and Switzerland to carry out “administrative and judicial actions before the competent French bodies and before the European Union”.
“In Switzerland LaLiga is studying different options of representation due to possible conflicts of interest of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi derived from his different roles” as president of PSG, member of the UEFA Executive Committee, president of the European Club Association (ECA) and president of the BeIN Sports network .
