The president of the “La Liga” criticizes the financial sanctions imposed on Saint-Germain

Javier Tebas, president of the Spanish Football League "La Liga", feels that the sanctions imposed against the French club Paris Saint-Germain are too lenient.

Tebas pointed out that the possible financial fines imposed against Saint-Germain are like the cost of a "cup of coffee" for his budget.

Paris Saint-Germain, owned by the Qatar Investment Fund, is currently one of the most spending clubs in European football, under the supervision of Qatari Chairman of the Board Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

Paris Saint-Germain's financial transactions have come under intense scrutiny from critics, with the French club having previously paid a fine of 65 million euros ($65.48 million) - with 55 million euros suspended - for violations of the Financial Fair Play Law.

However, Tebas feels such repercussions are too weak for the French team, which he claims is undermining the rules of the sport.

"10 million euros for Paris Saint-Germain and Nasser is a cup of coffee. Sanctions must be a deterrent and also affect the sporting side of the club," Tebas said in statements to the French newspaper L'Equipe.

"These sanctions are ineffective. They should be punished now," the La Liga president stressed.

"Over the past six or seven seasons, PSG lost one billion euros. They are violating the European football ecosystem," Tebas hinted.

At the end of his speech, Tebas asked, "How can other clubs compete with someone who has incurred losses of one billion euros? It is difficult."
