The Spanish Football League takes action. In his sights: PSG’s failure to respect financial fair play in the case of Kylian Mbappé’s extension. “The LFP should never have validated this contract. The DNCG (National Directorate of Control and Management) should have noted PSG’s breach of the rules of financial fair play at the national but also European level”, explained La Liga lawyer in France, Juan Branco, during a press conference on Friday, June 17.
La Liga, through the voice of its lawyer, intends to ask “the abrogation of Mbappé’s contract to the Minister of Sports”then optionally drop a “recourse to the LFP to contact the DNCG (National Directorate of Control and Management) for a control of opportunity” PSG accounts. Finally, if the previous steps do not succeed, Juan Branco assured that he wanted to act before the Administrative Court of Paris or even on a European scale with “the European Commission to ask it to intervene to harmonize the regulations”.
“It is clear to everyone that PSG are acting outside the rules, including through fraudulent maneuvers”considered the lawyer, adding that what motivated these lawsuits was La Liga’s desire to “redefining the rules for a more virtuous ecosystem”, to rebalance sporting and economic competition against state-supported clubs.
