The French lawyer for the Professional Football League, Juan Brancohas explained in detail the complaint that the body is going to present before the French justice system against PSG for the “makeup of your accounts”. The main measure that LaLiga will ask for is challenge of the new contract of Kylian Mbappé with the Parisian club.
The presiding body Javier Thebes consider this contract illegal because it violates the fair play rules of the UEFA. In the event that the French justice dismisses the complaint, LaLiga assures that it will go to the European justice through the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg.
Juan Branco has not been optimistic Regarding the possibility that the French justice will prove them right: “The appeal in France is unlikely to be successful but we will challenge the legality of Mbappé’s contract: the French LFP should never have validated it because it goes against financial fair play” , he underlined.
Javier Tebas’ lawyer has equated PSG’s situation with the famous Bosman Act of 1995 that liberalized the football market. “What we want is a system change and not only for the PSG and the Manchester City. We want to redefine the rules,” commented Branco, who explained that his legal team has been working on these matters for a year: “PSG is making up its accounts through artificial sponsors, especially Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) until 2019 (100 million euros per year without any compensation from PSG) and after Accor (50 million euros per year). We cannot continue allowing this”, concluded Juan Branco. LaLiga’s intentions seem quite clear.
