French justice. Tebas stated that the complaint we intend to file with UEFA was already prepared and is currently being reviewed at a press conference.
“But we’re not stopping there. We are going back to France. We have already hired French lawyers. We are going against the economic control body […]. And we will denounce this situation in front of the administrative courts there,” stated the president of LaLiga.
Tebas insists that “we are not going to permit a European club destroy the ecosystem of European soccer,” referring to the fact that PSG had “lost 300 to 400 million euros in three seasons”. According to the National Directorate of French Football Finance Control’s (DNCG) annual report, Paris Saint-Germain would have suffered a loss of approximately 225 million euros in the 2020-2021 season. This was strongly influenced by the pandemic.
Tebas said, “This year it’s L’Equipe that says it, and not me. He will increase to 600million (euros) in salaries, he’ll end the season with an income loss of 300 million Euros and with an income higher than Manchester United and Real Madrid, which is something no one believes.”
He stated that Mbappe’s renewal is impossible if there are no deceptions in sponsorship or higher capital contributions to what UEFA established. Tebas said that he would not respond to Vincent Labrune, president of the French League. Labrune called Tebas’s statements about Mbappe being extended “an insult to soccer” and “disrespectful, slander”. Tebas again decried club-states such as PSG, which is owned by a subsidiary from the Qatar sovereign wealth funds.
