Paris Saint-Germain 'are cheating economically' - La Liga's Javier Tebas



La Liga president Javier Tebas has accused Paris Saint-Germain of "cheating economically" and urged UEFA to expel them from the Champions League if they are found to have infringed financial fair play (FFP) rules.

In August, PSG broke the world transfer record by signing Neymar from Barcelona for €222 million and committed another €180m plus bonuses on the arrival of Kylian Mbappe from Monaco, initially on a season-long loan.

UEFA opened an investigation into PSG's dealings on Sept. 1, 10 days after Tebas had sent it a letter detailing the difference between PSG's commercial revenue and those of their European competitors.

Citing figures from 2014, Tebas claimed PSG's commercial revenue of €344m had been artificially inflated, surpassing those of Bayern Munich (€269m), Manchester United (€237m), Real Madrid (€224m) and Barcelona (€185m).

Tebas believes PSG's close links with Qatar, whose investment vehicle Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) bought the club in 2011, make unfair competition, and mean sponsorship contracts -- for the most part signed with Qatari entities -- have been overvalued.
