DBasia.news – LaLiga was also affected by the failed transfer of Kylian Mbappe, who reportedly joined Real Madrid after choosing to stay at Paris Saint-Germain until 2025. As a result of this, LaLiga is ready to take Les Parisiens to legal action.
Real Madrid’s dream of signing Kylian Mbappe has disappeared. Although it was rumored that he was one step away from bringing in the star, at the last second PSG changed everything.
One of the things that made Mbappe stay at PSG is the high salary value. Reportedly, Mbappe will earn €60 million per season for five years. In addition, he also received a contract signing bonus of €120 million.
Apparently, what PSG did infuriated LaLiga. The president, Javier Tebas, openly called the PSG owner as dangerous as the European Super League. What was done was considered to have violated fair values from a financial perspective.
“What PSG did by renewing Mbappe’s contract for a large sum of money after losing €700 million in the last few seasons and having a salary bill of over 600 million euros is an insult to football. Al-Khelaifi is as dangerous as the European Super League,” said Tebas.
Finally, LaLiga took legal action. LaLiga will report PSG to a number of related officials.
“LaLiga will file a complaint against PSG with UEFA, the French administrative, fiscal and EU authorities in order to continue to maintain the European football economic ecosystem and its sustainability,” a LaLiga statement read.
“This type of agreement attacks the economic stability of European football, jeopardizes hundreds of thousands of jobs and the integrity of sport.”
“It’s a shame a club like PSG could close a deal like that, whereas clubs that can afford to pay players without seeing their salary bill are left without being able to sign him.”
“PSG is assuming an impossible investment due to having a challenging salary bill plus huge financial losses in the previous season. This violates the current rules of UEFA and France’s economic contracts.”
What LaLiga is doing is understandable as Kylian Mbappe has the potential to become the next icon of Spain’s number one competition after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
