LaLiga denounces PSG and Manchester City for violation of financial fair play

LaLiga announced on Wednesday that they have denounced PSG and Manchester City for a possible breach of financial fair play rules . This is clearly stated in an official statement in which they disclose the reasons for doing so.

According to information”La Liga this week lodged a complaint with UEFA against PSG, who will join another against Manchester City in April, for understanding that these clubs continually breach current Financial Fair Play rules. “, they begin by pointing.

This happens because the governing body of Spanish football considers that “these practices alter the ecosystem and the sustainability of football, harm all European clubs and leagues and only serve to artificially inflate the market, with money not generated by football itself ”.

Among their arguments, they also indicate that “the irregular financing of these clubs is carried out, either by direct injections of money, or through sponsorship and other contracts which do not correspond to market conditions or have not economic sense”.

There they also point out that the complaint against Manchester City before UEFA was filed in April and last week they did so against Paris Saint-Germain and point out that “It is not excluded that in the next few days extensions of some of these complaints will be made with the contribution of new data ”.

The latter could be oriented towards the announcement of the signing of Erling Haaland which was officially presented this Monday by the citizens.

For all these complaints, LaLiga has mandated law firms in France and Switzerland “with the aim of initiating administrative and legal actions as soon as possible before the competent French authorities and before the European Union”, they specify. .

In addition, they are evaluating information in the event of possible conflicts and interests of Nasser Al-Khelaifi “derived from his various roles at PSG, UEFA, ECA and BeIN Sports”.

“This is not the first time that La Liga has denounced these anti-competitive practices before UEFA. The Spanish organization has always led the defense of economic control. ANDIn 2017 and 2018, he filed briefs with UEFA against PSG and Manchester City for breaching financial fair play, which resulted in UEFA sanctions against the two “state clubs”, although that they were later canceled due to strange CAS decisions. “, continues the press release.

“LaLiga’s complaints, as well as the statements that the association of Spanish clubs have made in recent times in this regard, are made on the basis of data and after detailed monitoring and analysis of the clubs’ audited accounts”, conclude- they.
