After Neymar in 2017, Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018, Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi this summer… Season after season, the Spanish championship is losing huge stars. Three of the names mentioned are found today at Paris Saint-Germain, and that irritates Javier Tebas, the president of LaLiga.
The boss of professional football across the Pyrenees heavily criticized Paris Saint-Germain and the “club-states” (cuckoo Manchester City), deeming their economic model “unsustainable” on Twitter a few minutes after the end of the summer transfer window in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday.
Los clubs-estado son tan peligrosos para el ecosistema del fútbol como la Superliga. Fuimos críticos con la Superliga porque destruye el fútbol europeo y somos igual de críticos con el PSG. Pérdidas Covid + 300M; ingresos of TV in Francia -40%; ¿Y + 500M in employees? Impervious.

“The club-states are as dangerous for the football ecosystem as the Super League. We had been critical of the Super League because it destroys European football, and we are just as critical with PSG, ”Tebas wrote on the social network.
Real can’t digest the Mbappé case
PSG, owned by Qatari fund QSI (Qatar Sports Investment), turned down huge offers (the last one reportedly exceeded 200 million euros) from Real Madrid for star striker Kylian Mbappé, who has one season of contract left. in Paris. The Parisian club has also recruited major stars, especially Messi but also Ramos as well as midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, inflating its payroll.
“Covid losses of more than 300 million euros, TV rights revenues down 40% in France, and +500 million euros in salaries? Unbearable, ”added the president of LaLiga. On the side of FC Barcelona, strangled by debts, we must think the same thing as Tebas.
