Kylian Mbappé stays at Paris Saint-Germain for a lot of money, does not move to Spain. LaLiga is now filing a complaint against the French at Uefa – but not only against PSG.
The Spanish football league has filed a complaint with the European association Uefa against French champions Paris Saint-Germain for violating financial fair play. A similar complaint was filed against Manchester City in April, LaLiga announced on Wednesday.
The background to the lawsuit is the extremely high-paying contract with which the PSG owners from the Emirate of Qatar persuaded star striker Kylian Mbappé to stay. Spain were convinced the 23-year-old would join Champions League winners Real Madrid in the summer after his old contract expired on June 30.
LaLiga: Sanctions lifted ‘by bizarre verdicts’
LaLiga laments that Paris and Abu Dhabi-backed English champions Manchester City are “continuously violating applicable financial fair play rules”. It is believed that such practices “change the ecosystem and sustainability of football, are detrimental to all European clubs and leagues and only serve to artificially inflate the market, with the money not being generated in football itself”.
There have already been sanctions from the European Football Union against both “state clubs”. However, these were later “overturned by bizarre judgments” of the International Court of Arbitration for Sports Cas.
