Verratti: Tebas Accuses PSG and Qatar of Foul Play

Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, continues to be a vocal critic of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

His latest critique comes in the wake of the transfer of midfielder Marco Verratti (30 years old) to Al-Arabi for a total sum of €50 million, including bonuses. When asked to comment on the tax advantages in Italy compared to Spain, the Spanish executive didn’t hold back in aiming a harsh criticism at the Parisian club.

« We could follow the example of France, where PSG is not properly monitored, and they sell Verratti to Qatar for over €40 million or whatever the amount was. We could do the same, find a satellite country to buy players for us, make substantial profits, and thereby acquire any players we desire. »

Tebas made these remarks during a press conference, raising questions about whether such a system is something they should aspire to. His comments allude to concerns about clubs utilizing external channels to evade financial regulations and raise funds through unusual transfer deals.

The situation underscores the ongoing debate about financial transparency and fair play in the world of football, with Tebas expressing his skepticism about certain practices, especially in the context of PSG’s dealings with Qatar.
