PSG and Man City face official UEFA complaints by Tebas for breaching the financial fair play rules.
La Liga chief Javier Tebas has explained his decision to file an official complaint about Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City’s transfer activities.
Following Kylian Mbappe‘s contract extension at PSG, Tebas slammed the Parisians for ‘being worse than the Super League’. The La Liga chief believes the state-owned clubs deny other clubs’ rights to fair competition in the transfer market.
“Do the clubs or the leagues have a responsibility towards our hierarchically superior institutions?” he said. “Am I obliged to report when I consider that there are irregularities?
“I think so, and that is also governance. If we looked the other way in matters of economic control and the cheating that is done, we would breach our governance rules.
“We want the competition to be as clean as possible and these clubs do a lot of damage to economic control.”
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is the current chairman of the European Club Association (ECA). However, Tebas insists that won’t stop him from continuing his legal action against the French club.
“He [Al-Khelaifi] is a buyer of UEFA rights, we have to denounce him,” Tebas added.
“We are not doing it to defend the Spanish clubs, who have enough with our most demanding economic control, we are doing it to safeguard the ecosystem of European football, which is in danger.”
