Tebas insisted that “we are not going to allow a European club to destroy the ecosystem of European football.”
The head of Spanish professional football recalled that Paris Saint-Germain “is a club that has been losing 300-400 million euros (321-429 million dollars) in the last three seasons.”
According to the annual report of the French football financial control body (DNCG), Paris Saint-Germain reportedly had a loss of around 225 million euros ($241 million) in the 2020-2021 season.
“This year, l’Equipe says it, I don’t say it, it’s going to go to 600 million (643 million dollars) of wages, it’s going to end the season with losses of 300 million euros and with commercial income older than Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barça, something that nobody believes,” Tebas insisted.
“With these losses and a wage bill of 600 million euros, more than Madrid, which Barça renews Mbappé, it is impossible, if there is no deception in sponsorships or capital contributions higher than what UEFA has established” Thebes assured.
The president of LaLiga assured that “I am not going to respond to the president” of the French championship, Vincent Lambrune, who sent a letter to his Spanish counterpart in which he branded some statements by Tebas as “disrespectful slander”, considering “an insult to football” Mbappe’s renewal.
Tebas also lashed out again at so-called club-states like PSG.
“Deep down, it doesn’t matter to us whether it’s a State or the owner of the club, the problem is the attitude of being the owner of the club, as there is no limit, the losses don’t matter, They put the money they want, they cheat you with sponsorships linked to the state… That’s the problem“, he assured.
