the president of The league Spanish, Javier Thebeswants immediate and dissuasive sanctions against paris st germain (PSG), and also sports, because he considers that the ones imposed by UEFA for violating the rules of financial fair play, due to their value and their progressive nature, do not work.
In an interview published this Wednesday by L’Équipe, Tebas insisted that “we have to punish from now on” because the fine of 65 million euros imposed by UEFA at the beginning of the season does not work, of which 55 million are exempt in compliance except in the case of recurrence.
In this regard, he points out that “10 million euros for PSG and its president (Nasser Al Khelaïfi) is a coffee”. That’s why he insisted that “the sanctions have to be dissuasive and also affect sports.”
He calculated that in the last six or seven seasons the club from the French capital has lost 1,000 million euros and in this way “destroys the ecosystem of European football”. “How can other clubs compete with one that has lost 1,000 million euros?” He asked rhetorically before replying that “it’s complicated.”
UEFA’s financial fair play rules state that in order to guarantee a certain fairness in the competition, teams have to guarantee a balance between income and costs, which mainly come from the chips of the player.
But PSG is criticized for skipping those rules because behind its owner, the Qatari sovereign fund, is the State of Qatar whose profitability in terms of popularity and influence outweighs economic profitability.
When asked about the 630 million euros that should have been fixed in the contract signed last summer with Mbappé for three seasons, according to figures revealed last weekend by the French press and denied by PSG, the president of LaLiga is ironed out first.
Tebas is convinced that it is “impossible” for the French club to bear the cost of signing Kylian Mbappé under the current rules. “It is known that for Mbappé to continue at PSG he has to pay dearly. But knowing Al Khelaïfi, it seems small to me… He has no limits to fulfill his goals. PSG and Al Khelaïfi have shown that the money is not his problem. If they had to give 200 million more to Mbappé, they would have given it to him.”
Blames BeIN, owned by Al-Khelaïfi
In his opinion, the economic dispute between the company BeIN (owned by Al Khelaïfi himself) and LaLiga stems from his complaints against the president of PSG. In particular, Tebas criticizes BeIN that of the 60 million euros it had to pay from August 15 for the broadcasting rights of the Spanish league abroad, they received only 10 million.
“I think they do it by saying: ‘Because you behaved badly towards us, Javier, and you acted like a bad boy by criticizing PSG, we will stop paying you,'” he said.
Tebas defends himself from condescending to Real Madrid and FC Barcelona,
He emphasized that he was the “most critical” of the two Spanish teams and told their presidents that what they were doing was “worse than club-states like PSG or Manchester City.” “They can criticize me -he added- if LaLiga supports them. As the French League does with PSG. The only European league that acts in UEFA to legally defend the interests of European football is LaLiga”.
