Javier Tebas continues to charge against Paris Saint-Germain and what he considers an economic management that defies any principle of sustainability and financial fair play in the world of football. The stratospheric checkbook renewal of Kylian Mbappé, jewel in the crown of the Qatari capital sports project in the Parc des Princes, has filled the glass and raised the tone of an old dispute. «We are not going to consent from LaLiga that a club destroys the ecosystem of European football. It is not a problem of French football, it is a problem of European football, “warned the president of the employers’ association of Spanish clubs.

In this sense, Tebas went beyond words and assured that LaLiga not only maintains its intention to file a complaint against the French champion before UEFA, but that it has already prepared it, waiting to file it formally in the coming days. . “The complaint that we are going to file with UEFA for the PSG case has already been drafted and it is not posturing, it is objective economic data from a club that has been losing 300-400 million euros in the last three seasons. This year is going to go to 600 million salary mass, and I’m not saying it, ‘L’Equipe’ says it, with losses of some 300 million and commercial income greater than that of Madrid, Manchester United or Barça that no one believes”, he stressed during an informative breakfast organized by the Europa Press agency that he opened by congratulating Real Madrid for a management without losses that has not prevented him from proclaiming himself European champion on the pitch.

«With those numbers, PSG renews Mbappé with some amounts… I don’t care if they are gross or net. It is impossible if there is no deception in sponsorships or capital contributions at a level higher than that established by UEFA. We are not staying here this time. We are going to go to France, we already have the French lawyers, and we are going to denounce PSG’s position before the administrative courts there,” he stressed on the next guidelines to follow in this particular crusade against the pharaonic Qatari project, a symbol of the new governed football by the state clubs, at least economically.

“How many hats does the PSG president wear? He is the president of PSG, then he takes off his hat and is the president of the ECA (European Club Association), suddenly he is the president of bein Sports. Listen, this man can do whatever he wants because UEFA is very dependent on him. It is impossible, “Thebes valued about the figure of Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of PSG and a strong man in the sport of eleven against eleven in the Old Continent.

“The European Robin Hoods”

In this sense, with a powerful adversary in front of him, the president of LaLiga is aware of his personal exposure and that of the institution he presides over, in a war in which for now other European championships such as the English Premier League, the Italian Serie A or the German Bundesliga have not positioned themselves convincingly. «We look like the European Robin Hoods, I have spoken with other presidents of the big leagues and some are possibly going to join but they are not going to put themselves in the trench. I tell them that this is what must be done to defend European and therefore Spanish football and this is what we are going to do », he analyzed in this regard.

“I’m not going to sit next to Nasser Al-Khelaifi and tell him ‘after the final we’ll have a pincho’, in any case I’ll tell him ‘hey, stop cheating, what you’re doing is screwing up football’. I have already told him more than once, but since he does not pay attention we have to continue, “said Tebas regarding his current relationship with the president, making clear the escalation of the conflict with the Qatari project in the French capital, which could jump from rhetoric to legal action in the near future.

“It is as dangerous as the Super League project. The issue is not that they are state clubs, but rather the attitude they have that losses are all the same to them, they put the money they want, they cheat with sponsorships… I’m not complaining that Qatar Investment owns the club , I complain that they use that figure of the State to contribute money without taking into account the losses they may have, “he analyzed in relation to the substance of the dispute, more in line with the management model than with the ownership of the clubs, although Both concepts are related.

Al-Khealifi and PSG now occupy the spotlight, to the point that Tebas, as he confessed, would meet with the Qatari president before Florentino Pérez himself and especially with Luis Rubiales, with whom he has irreconcilable differences. Regarding the president of Real Madrid, he totally differs on the management in the medium-long term, especially in relation to the Impulso plan financed by the investment of the CVC fund. As for the head of the Spanish Football Federation (FEF), Tebas charged harshly one day after an assembly that he considers “did not offer explanations” about the controversies that have plagued the federative entity in recent times and even accused Rubiales of have “a gulag” against critics.
