La Liga president: ‘Barca could have kept Messi’

Florentino Perez is to blame for everything, apart from the financial situation in Real. La Liga president Javier Tebas is well known for his ‘love’ towards Real Madrid president, and the feeling is mutual. The mighty Perez is criticizing Tebas for his strong reaction after the Super League was announced, as well as his involvement in the CVC deal, which was rejected by only three La Liga clubs: Real, Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao. And Tebas is not short of words for Perez, and one of his suggestions is that Florentino sabotaged Barcelona to accept and then reject CVC deal, which could have helped them to keep Lionel Messi in the club.

I have no doubt that Florentino would remove me from the president of LaLiga ipso facto if he could. In institutional politics, Madrid is making a mistake, it is winning many opponents. I don’t know if I will make my peace with Florentino, because we have two very different ways of understanding professional football” said Tebas.

Then I received a call ‘Can we speed it up? Messi gets nervous’. I told Laporta that Florentino would try to blow him up and he told me that he had personality. The problem is that the movement of CVC, the Super League teams created a very important problem for them. There was an agreement that if those who entered the CVC agreement could allocate 15% of the amount to players, it was a free decision. He could have signed Messi. Laporta signed players like Depay, Aguero … if he had not signed those Messi players could continue” explained Tebas. ‘Koeman will stay as coach, he is Barca’s legend’La Liga president once again talked about The Super League, stating that he doesn’t see that concept winning any time soon, but was clear that his biggest problem is, again, Real president, mainly because “the concept that Florentino has, who believes that the big teams should direct everything”.
