MADRID, 15 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
LaLiga confirmed this Wednesday that this week it has filed a complaint with UEFA against Paris Saint-Germain, which joins the one it already filed against Manchester City last April, “for understanding that these clubs are continually failing to comply current financial fair play regulations”.

For the body chaired by Javier Tebas, “the irregular financing of these clubs is carried out, either through direct injections of money or through sponsorship and other contracts that do not correspond to market conditions or make economic sense “.

“It is not the first time that LaLiga has denounced these anti-competitive practices before UEFA. The Spanish organization has always led the defense of economic control and in 2017 and 2018 it filed writs before UEFA against PSG and Manchester City for infringing ‘fair play’ financial, which resulted in sanctions by UEFA against both ‘state clubs’, although they were later annulled due to some strange decisions by the TAS”, the employer recalled.
