La Liga chief Javier Tebas has insisted that he will file an official complaint to UEFA over Kylian Mbappe’s new contract at Paris Saint-Germain.

The World Cup winner was close to joining Real Madrid last summer. But, PSG kept him for the final year of his contract while continuing their efforts to extend his stay.

Following months of negotiations, the club finally announced on May 21 that Mbappe had signed a new three-year deal.

The deal infuriated Real Madrid and La Liga officials, with Tebas branding the contract “scandalous”. In a new interview, the La Liga chief has revealed he will soon register an official complaint to UEFA.

“PSG, with more losses and wage bill than Real Madrid or Barca, renew Mbappe with amounts that high. It is impossible if there is no cheating on sponsorships or capital contributions at a level higher than that established by UEFA,” Tebas told reporters.

“Can the PSG president do what he wants because UEFA is financially dependent on him? It can’t be.”

He added: “We will file the complaint against PSG first with UEFA, in one or two days. La Liga will not allow a European club to destroy European football. The complaint is written and is not posturing, it is objective economic data.”
