LaLiga, the body that manages professional football in Spain, announced in a statement on Saturday that it would file a "complaint" against Paris Saint-Germain in the context of the aborted transfer of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid, to "defend economic ecosystem of European football".

In its press release, LaLiga writes that “this kind of behavior carried out by the president of PSG Nasser Al-Khelaifi (…) is a danger for European football, at the same level as the Super League”, and that it will file a complaint “ with UEFA, the French administrative and tax authorities and with the competent bodies of the European Union”.

Earlier today, LaLiga president Javier Tebas blasted the Paris club's behavior on Twitter.

“An INSULT to football”

“What PSG are doing to prolong Mbappé with big money… after recording losses of 700 million euros in recent seasons and while he has a salary bill of 600 million euros is an INSULT to football, ”wrote the Spanish leader, as the media announced that an agreement had been reached between the striker and PSG.

"Faced with Kylian Mbappé's possible announcement to stay at Paris Saint-Germain, LaLiga wishes to demonstrate that this type of agreement undermines the economic sustainability of European football, endangering hundreds of thousands of jobs and jobs in the medium term. the sporting integrity, not only of European competitions, but also of our domestic championships, ”says LaLiga in its press release.

"Scandalous"

According to the body that manages Spanish professional football, it is "scandalous" that a club "like PSG, which last season lost more than 220 million euros, after having accumulated 700 million euros in losses these last seasons (…), with a wage bill of around 650 million euros for this 2021-2022 season, can offer an agreement of this kind, while clubs which could assume the player's arrival without jeopardizing their mass salary find themselves unable to recruit him".

In the past, LaLiga had already lodged a complaint against PSG for disrespecting UEFA's financial fair play, and the European football body had then sanctioned PSG before the decision was revoked by the CAS (arbitral tribunal of the sport).
