The season in Spain is over, but that doesn’t mean that the executives are on vacation. Apart from football clubs directors, who are preparing for the July transfer window, La Liga brass is also very active. Spanish league president Javier Tebas for example, is looking over dealings in his area of expertise, but also in Europe, as both Mbappe and Haaland transfers are under the microscope due to a huge amount of money involved.🎙| La Liga President Tebas: “With more losses than Madrid or Barça, they renew Mbappé with that amount…It’s impossible if there’s no cheating on sponsorships or capital contributions at a level higher than, what’s established by UEFA.” #rmalive— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) May 31, 2022 Tebas often said that La Liga won’t allow any European club to destroy the ecosystem of European football and he will soon have the chance to deal accordingly. Speaking at Europa Press Sports Breakfasts, Tebas confirmed that the complaint to the UEFA over Kylian Mbappe deal is in the works, while the situation with Barcelona is clear – they cannot (yet) sign Robert Lewandowski.“The complaint that we will present to UEFA is already drafted and in the review phase. It will be sent in one or two days. It’s impossible there has not been cheating. When we denounced the Neymar issue, we denounced two clubs, City and PSG. Both clubs were sanctioned by UEFA. What happened? In a very strange decision, both were pardoned by TAS. We have studied it and we are going to try to make sure it doesn’t happen again.” said Tebas.Are Barcelona in trouble again? Players considered as ‘done deals’ far from putting pen to paperPSG suffered a 240 million dollars loss in 2020/21, an increase of 80% on the previous year, the annual report from French football’s financial authority (DNCG) said earlier this month. La Liga introduced a system of strict spending restrictions in 2013, which include budgets being imposed on every Spanish club depending on their financial situation. And that is why Barcelona also has problems with La Liga over their signings. They had it last season, and they will have it this season as well.“Barca already know what they have to do if they want to sign Lewandowski. They know our economic control rules perfectly. It’s to avoid major economic problems. I don’t know if they will sell De Jong or Pedri, but they know that they must enter more and sell assets. To this day, they still cannot sign Lewandowski. Barca has had many accumulated losses in recent years and has to fill the pantry. Just as Madrid has filled it, Barca has it empty” explained Tebas.(2.45) SCOTLAND (3.10) UKRAINE (3.45)And even thou the complaint for Mbappe transfer is still not officially submitted, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin took sides. It was widely expected that no matter what, the Slovenian will back up PSG owner who supported him during the “European Super League crisis”. So, he already rejected the criticism of Mbappe’s new deal.”I absolutely don’t agree. There are too many insults anyway in football, and I think that every league should worry about their own situation. I don’t think it is right that one league criticises the other league. As much as I know, the offer from Real for Mbappe was similar to PSG’s offer” Ceferin said to AFP.
