Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, and Óscar Mayo, manager of the employer's association, analyzed the approval of the agreement with CVC to create LaLiga Impulso. A project that received 38 votes in favor and four against. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Athletic and a fourth team dissociate themselves from the agreement.
Six hours of Assembly: “It has lasted longer than expected because there were two points on the agenda that required a lot to talk about. The first point was a KPMG report on the damage that the Super League could cause, according to the Report there could have been losses of more than 1,000 million per season and the value of the clubs would be devalued, which means the closing of the competition. The second point was the approval of the agreement between LaLiga and CVC by 38 votes in favor and 4 against. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Athletic and a fourth team, which has decided not to speak. We have included a clause that those clubs that are not happy and have voted against, keep the right or luck in the audiovisual settlement and will not be affected. The idea of the rejection of Barca and Madrid It is due to the Super League and they will make a thousand legal and financial excuses … “.
CVC's role and rights: “I will remember that there is a decree on Audiovisual Rights, which must take into account the participation of the clubs that generate the most income. We have other ways to make them more fair and effective. CVC does not have the rights of anyone. With this income we try That the teams are digitized, the stadiums improve … While Madrid and Barca do not have that problem. I am not giving up their rights. They are revalued for a few years and we will be able to enter in 8 or 10 years, with more than 30% of the value. For example, in Italy and Germany they are sinking. Football will remain the same (same channels, rights …) “.
Agreement without Madrid or Barcelona: “CVC only has a stake in LaLiga results, not in revenue. LaLiga is still worth 25 billion euros. Less money will be delivered, for the three who said no, so the operation is approaching around 2.1 billion euros. Euros. The position of Madrid and Barcelona has to do with the Super League and they do not want LaLiga to be promoted. “
Madrid statement: “The good agreement is the one approved by the Assembly, Madrid has been hindering agreements for 8 years, with the issue of audiovisual rights. I would have liked them to be there, but we are not going to cry and we will continue to grow. They are not essential. note from Real Madrid, they are accusations of crime and I will personally see what I do, the objective is to coerce us and scare us so that we would not do what happened today. The lawsuit can only delay the agreement, but not break it “.
Barcelona: “If Barca had accepted the money, Messi could have continued. I do not fully know the numbers and what he is doing with his salary mass. It helps that Barca had a competitive squad. Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and we left. Messi and it hurts that they leave, we have worked so that the audiovisual rights grow. We have sold the international rights for the next 4 years and there is no clause that if Messi leaves they will change. Like the 8-year contract with ESPN, these players matter and help, but they are not essential. I am surprised that Barca does not want money, 275 million would be very good for them. The League without Messi, another season begins tomorrow we will continue to grow “.
PSG and Messi: “On the issue of Messi, I have given my explanations on Twitter. I found out that he was not following, the same one that made it official and the issue of PSG, if there has been someone against the state-clubs, it has been LaLiga. Madrid and Instead of supporting us, Barca went to dinner with Al Khelafi. I don't know what maneuvers they will have to do to avoid the salary limit. “
FEF statement: “Everything we do in LaLiga, the federation criticizes it once again, they even talk about my salary and they have not read the agreement. We have thought about those clubs that have been in LaLiga, such as Depor, Numancia, Extremadura … which has contributed income and those who have never been for ten years will have up to 4 million. We respect that for the first ten years, because the other clubs will have already grown and logically they will have benefited “.
Teams descending or dissolving: “It is a historic and exceptional agreement with CVC, it has agreements with Formula 1. The 15% will only be for salaries, avoiding salary inflation. You can reject the agreement and sign the financing, but you will not receive what you are entitled to. Mainly , is to make the clubs grow at the infrastructure and marketing level. The FEF is also responsible for making its product grow and it has the wickedness to make a category, but it is necessary to work on it, it is not enough to change the format and they think that with that Income is generated. The money is not given by CVC to the clubs, it is given by La Liga, and if it is dissolved, as in the case of Reus, the bosses will have to endure, you have a not very optimistic thought … “.
New stars: “Great players are going to continue signing and coming to LaLiga, Madrid have an easy time signing this season after closing positively in a year marked by the pandemic, with the exception of Barcelona whose difficulties have led them to have to start Players”.
