La Liga to issue complaint against PSG over "scandalous" Kylian Mbappe contract

Kylian Mbappe has agreed a staggering new three-year deal to stay at Paris Saint-Germain - and Zinedine Zidane could now replace Mauricio Pochettino as coach next season.

But La Liga have issued a statement claiming the biggest deal in football history was “scandalous” and promised to report PSG to UEFA and the EU. After years of being courted by Real Madrid, the Ligue 1 winners announced Mbappe was staying before PSG’s final match of the season against Metz.

In an extraordinary statement released by La Liga, they have outlined their frustrations at Mbappe signing a lucrative new deal with the French champions and has questioned finances and felt that they should have not been allowed to re-sign the 2018 World Cup winner.

The statement read: “Faced with Kylian Mbappé's possible announcement of remaining at Paris Saint-Germain, LaLiga wishes to state that this type of agreement threatens the economic sustainability of European football, putting hundreds of thousands of jobs and sporting integrity at risk in the medium term, not only from European competitions, but also from our domestic leagues.

“It is scandalous that a club like PSG, which last season lost more than 220 million euros, after having accumulated losses of 700 million euros in recent seasons... can face an agreement of these characteristics while those clubs that could accept the arrival of the player without seeing their wage bill compromised, are left without being able to sign him.

“ LaLiga is going to file a complaint against PSG before UEFA, French administrative and tax authorities and before the competent bodies of the European Union , to continue defending the economic ecosystem of European football and its sustainability.”
