We hardly dare to imagine how much PSG have haunted Javier Tebas every night since Neymar left Barça and La Liga to join Paris in August 2017. This Wednesday, the La Liga president granted The Team yet another flamethrower interview against the management of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. Two days after the revelations of Parisian on Kylian Mbappé’s new contract, which could reach 630 million euros, the timing was perfect in this sense. It must be admitted, some ironic passages are quite tasty.
“We knew that for Mbappé to stay at PSG, he would have to be paid very dearly, slips Javier Tebas. But knowing Al-Khelaïfi, that doesn’t seem like much to me… He has no limits when it comes to accomplishing his goals. PSG and Al-Khelaïfi have shown that money is not their problem. If it had been necessary to give 200 million euros more to Mbappé, they would have given it. “For the boss of La Liga, the problem posed by the PSG version QSI is obvious here: “Over the last six or seven seasons, PSG has lost 1 billion euros. It breaks the ecosystem of European football. How can other clubs compete with someone losing €1bn? “.
“We must punish now”
It is not UEFA’s recent sanctions against the Parisian club, for having been outside the nails of financial fair play, namely a fine of 65 million (including 55 M € suspended), which will satisfy Javier Tebas . The latter holds in this regard his punch line of the day: “10 million euros, for PSG and Nasser, it’s a coffee! Sanctions must be dissuasive and also affect the athlete. Those that have been taken are not. These progressive penalties do not work, we must sanction now ”.
The 60-year-old Spanish leader released a final banner in this interview, recounting an exchange with the current owner of OM: “Who makes money in France with football? Or rather who does not lose? The other day I met Frank McCourt. He said to me: “We have invested 700 M€ in our club”. I replied: “No, you destroyed them, not invested”.
