Unless it is a hoax and RM are delaying the announcement of his signature until the day before CL
Faced with Kylian Mbappé’s possible announcement of remaining at Paris Saint-Germain, LaLiga wants to state that this type of agreement threatens the economic sustainability of European football, putting hundreds of thousands of jobs and sporting integrity at risk in the medium term, not only from European competitions, but also from our domestic leagues.
It is scandalous that a club like PSG, which last season lost more than 220 million euros, after having accumulated losses of 700 million euros in recent seasons (even declaring income from sponsorships of a very dubious amount) with a cost of sports staff around 650 million for this 21/22 season, can face an agreement of these characteristics while those clubs that could accept the arrival of the player without seeing their wage bill compromised, are left without being able to sign him.
For all of the above, LaLiga is going to file a complaint against PSG before UEFA, administrative and tax authorities in France and before the competent bodies of the European Union, to continue defending the economic ecosystem of European football and its sustainability. .
On previous occasions, LaLiga has already made complaints against PSG for non-compliance with UEFA’s financial fair play as a result of which UEFA harshly sanctioned PSG, although the CAS revoked them in a strange resolution.
LaLiga and many European football institutions were hopeful that with the entry of the PSG president, Mr. Nasser Al-Khelaifi, into European football management bodies such as the former UEFA or the ECA Presidency, he would refrain from carrying out these practices knowing the serious damage they cause, but it has not been like that, quite the opposite. Being PSG with unacceptable salary masses, with large economic losses in previous seasons, it assumes an impossible investment in this situation, which undoubtedly implies non-compliance with the current economic control regulations not only of UEFA, but of French football itself. .
These behaviors denote even more that the state clubs do not respect or want to respect the rules of an economic sector as important as football, key to the sustainability of hundreds of thousands of jobs.
This type of behavior led by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of PSG, due to his status as a member of the former UEFA, president of the ECA, is a danger to European football at the same level as the Super League.

We can laugh, but it’s hard to argue with that statement.

I would wholeheartedly agree with the statement if not for the elephant in the room. The statement would also apply to Real Madrid. If Mbappé had moved to Madrid, would the same not also apply?

As much as I dislike Real, they would probably not be falling foul of regulations here. They haven’t really made any big signings recently and some big earners are also likely to be coming off their books, so in this case that would be a no.
PSG and City are a stain.

And hands off Mo you wanknuggets!

As @wyld.at.hrt says Real Madrid’s finances are fairly strong - and they are (as far as we know) from legitimate football income, they just have a massive fanbase/ audience that they are able to leverage commercially.

Considering they needed the Super League so badly just to stay afloat, I don’t buy that…

I’d agree if it came from Port Vale or someone, Madrid will spend all summer destabilising other clubs for their players so it rings rather hollow.

They didnt. They borrowed heavily and spent over $800m on their stadium redevelopment, but were still making a profit throughout the pandemic despite seeing their revenues fall by 300m euros. During that time they were still able to reduce their debt on the playing side to about 34m euros down from about 200m.
Last year they signed a deal with a US company, Sixth Street, to use the Bernabau stadium for ‘Legends’ events which they get paid something like $500m a year I think. Just a couple of days ago they signed another deal with the same company for 360m euros allowing sixth street to run businesses from the stadium.
The stadium is due to be finished this year and expected to generate an additional 120m euros a year for the club. Then as said above there are several high earners who have left the club over the last couple of seasons or will be this summer.

Can’t stand Real Madrid but I am delighted with the forthright way they are taking this on. It is needed.
I can only hope Man City get the same sort of treatment when the Haaland deal is confirmed.
PSG and Man City are a stain on the game. If we want financial structure and regulation, then let’s have it.
