La Liga President attacks funding in letter, responding to PSG

The Hindu  

The escalation of squabbling started with La Liga president Javier Tebas publicly launching jibes at Paris Saint-Germain — particularly for signing Lionel Messi. Tebas writes that “PSG's finances have been kept afloat thanks to the multi-million euro contributions of its shareholder over the last three seasons.” READ | PSG, Man City set to benefit from expected end to financial fair play restrictions In the letter addressed to PSG general secretary Victoriano Melero, Tebas makes the accusation that the club's finances “breach the content and, more importantly, the purpose of Financial Fair Play, despite the acquittal by the CAS for technical reasons." Tebas roused PSG anger earlier this month with broadsides following Messi's signing after Barcelona could not keep the 34-year-old Argentina star while complying with La Liga's own financial regulations. Tebas said “PSG looks like the league of legends given the age of some players," sparking the letter from Melero decrying “insulting and defamatory statements." The French league earlier this month also lashed out at Tebas, saying in a statement that his comments “are not worthy of the institution he represents" and pointing to the apparent “financial largesse that Spanish clubs have.” Tebas has also written back to French league president Vincent Labrune, in a letter seen by the AP, saying the competition has a “reliance on PSG" and maintaining that La Liga has a “very stable financial situation."
