Manchester City has been one of the most discussed football teams on the planet in recent years, in particular with regard to financial affairs. The CityZens are currently being investigated by the Premier League about an alleged 115 breaches of financial fair play rules, and more claims have also been made.
La Liga President Javier Tebas is one of the figures that Man City has questioned with regard to financial affairs, and when speaking with the media on Thursday (via Marca) he was strong about the situation.
“What worries me are not the APTs – what makes me worries are the companies outside the city football group where the expenditure of the city is sent. All they do is think about how they can circumvent rules and regulations. We have informed the European Union of this with facts and figures.
“I can't talk about sanctions for Manchester City for this issue. The only thing I can say is that when you see that a company in Europe has distorted the market, they often have to repay funds. We want Manchester City to be punished. The case is currently being investigated. We have not received a response yet. Remember that the European Commission has many cases. '
Girona is one of the clubs under the Stadsvoetbalgroep and Tebas used the Catalan side to convey his point.
“The same thing happens in a sector, so why not in football? When City Football Group bought Girona, they borrowed five players from them. We checked the ratings and calculated that they were 40 times higher than those by Manchester City. “
Tebas pointed out that in 2023 he adopted a similar attitude with Paris Saint-Germain.
“It's not just about Manchester City. We have denounced Paris Saint-Germain to the European Commission. As far as Newcastle is concerned, we haven't done anything about it yet. We don't have enough data. “
