“I charge six times less than the president of LaLiga”

Apart from the two and a half hours of morning appearance before the press of Luis Rubiales to talk about the audios published by ‘The confidential’ regarding links with the company Kosmos from Gerard Piqué and the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabiathe president of the Real spanish soccer federation He also went through the different nightly radio programs.

The explanations were practically the same as those given in the morning in Las Rosasbut when in ‘The spar’ they talked about his salary, Rubiales wanted to compare it with that of the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas.

In the first place, he did not refer to him directly and said that “there is another president of a sports institution in spain who earns three million euros, which seems outrageous to me. We do not want to put a salary that conditions the Federation. Having said that, I already said it this morning: I have no problem changing it. When this salary structure was discussed, in the days before, I told them, ‘you are thinking about the federationbut you also have to think of me to avoid any kind of controversy”. Later, he stated that “in salary matters I earn six times less than the president of LaLiga. Every thing I do is criticized. I don’t want to charge six times as much, but it’s probably easier to say: let the president charge this. And they will reach the Super Cup the same. Salary policy is not going to intervene at all.”

In this sense, he explained that “I have a contract with a variable part depending on the income of the RFEF. If certain teams arrive in the Copa del Rey, it also generates more income. if they arrive Real Madrid and Barca in the end more is generated. This year has not been like that, so in those variables less has been generated. We have to look at that too. I have no problem with my salary structure being changed.”
