The Spanish football league has filed a complaint with UEFA against French champions Paris Saint-Germain for violating financial fair play. A similar complaint was filed against Manchester City in April, La Liga said.
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 French world champions would join Champions League winners Real Madrid in the summer after his old contract expired on June 30.
La Liga complains that PSG and Abu Dhabi-backed English champions Manchester City “continuously violate applicable rules of financial fair play”. 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.”
