La Liga president Javier Tebas says Man City 'must have' broken rules to sign Erling Haaland and launches UEFA complaint

La Liga president Javier Tebas has launched another attack on Manchester City, making a claim over their ability to sign Erling Haaland and confirming he has made a formal complaint to UEFA against the Blues.

Tebas is a long-standing critic of City and their financial model, despite the club being cleared at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in 2020 after UEFA charged them with breaching Financial Fair Play regulations.

Now, he has confirmed he sent a formal complaint to UEFA against City and Paris Saint-Germain as he also took aim at City's signing of Haaland for £51m from Borussia Dortmund.

City paid Haaland's release clause, with the total expenditure set to rise higher due to wages and agent fees, beating competition from Real Madrid among others.

Speaking to Marca, Tebas said: "[City] must have done something, because Haaland asked the clubs for more apart from the 60 million that have been paid.

"PSG is going to end up with losses of 200 million, it has already been dragging 300... and they go and renew Mbappé with those amounts. They are going to have to cheat, I don't know if paying outside the French environment or fattening up the sponsorships a lot, which they already do."

In his official complaint against PSG this week, La Liga confirmed they had raised a similar issue with UEFA in April against City, and didn't rule out adding to both formal complaints.

"LaLiga this week filed a complaint with UEFA against PSG, which will join another against Manchester City in April, for understanding that these clubs are continuously breaching the current financial fair play regulations," the complaint reads.
