Spanish football continues upside down.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic Club have challenged the LaLiga agreement with the CVC investment fund adopted at the Assembly on August 12.

The employer agreed to receive 2,100 million euros in exchange for part of the commercial business (10.95%) and television rights, through a participation account, for the next 50 years.

The clubs that have rebelled against the pact reached with the fund by Javier Tebas, president of the employer's association, issued a joint statement this Friday in which they assure that the agreement "violates what the applicable regulations provide." Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic refer to Royal Decree Law 5/2015. In addition, they accuse LaLiga of having adopted it "within the framework of a notoriously irregular and disrespectful procedure with the minimum guarantees required, especially in the face of an operation of this importance and duration."

"Mainly we want to contest for two reasons. Firstly, because the summons contained insufficient information for us to be able to evaluate it and make a decision. Secondly, because during the course of the assembly itself there was a change in criteria. And finally it ended up asking for the approval of something different from the one that had been initially proposed. That means a blank check for LaLiga that we believe is not correct ", declared Eduard Romeu, economic vice president of a Barcelona that, before the president Joan Laporta suddenly closed the door to the renewal of Leo Messi, had come to be satisfied with the business with CVC. This is corroborated by various sources regarding a meeting at the Laporta home, in which Javier Tebas participated, prior to the breakup.

"The truth is that at first they only informed us of the positive aspects of the agreement. That Barça would receive a very important amount, but at no time did they show us the documents that corroborated those figures and that agreement. When we finally received the necessary documentation To sign it and we read the document, we realized that it did not correspond to what they had told us at first. It meant mortgaging the club in the very long term. To be more exact, 50 years ", Romeu himself argues, who abounds: "What they asked us is that this fund invested 2,602 million euros [2,100 after the refusal of Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Athletic and Oviedo to join]. And at the end of the period it would end up receiving 22,000 million". The injection of money from Capital Partners does not go directly to the clubs,Instead, it is LaLiga that must grant 40-year loans at 0% interest.
