Man City case shows need for financial transparency, says La Liga chief Tebas
Javier Tebas says he was among those who spoke out in 2017 against 'financial doping' by clubs tapping Gulf wealth to boost their competitive ambitions.
La Liga president Javier Tebas has called for greater financial transparency in football following Manchester City's alleged breach of Premier League rules. The club is accused of providing inaccurate financial information and failing to cooperate with an investigation. Tebas stated that these findings emphasize the need for economic controls, transparency, and equal rules across the board to maintain football's integrity and sustainability.
He revealed that he had previously raised concerns about "financial doping" in 2017, highlighting how clubs like City and Paris Saint-Germain benefit from the financial resources of Gulf countries to gain competitive advantages. Tebas, who has been criticized for protecting Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, the world's wealthiest clubs, now advocates for stricter regulations to ensure fair play in the sport.
