The ingratitude of inept Kylian Mbappé got stuck like a traitorous dagger in the hearts of Real Madrid fans and managers. And, apparently, also from the institutional management of the Spanish Professional Football League (LFP), which will bring a lawsuit to the French judiciary to cancel the star’s new contract with Paris Saint-Germain, finding it in violation of the UEFA Financial Fair Rules of the game . And not only that: if successful, the claim could lead to the link between Lionel Messi and PSG.

The person in charge of the crusade on behalf of the LFP will be the French lawyer Juan Brancowho at a press conference held in Paris on Friday explained that the first legal initiative will be to ask French Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castérawhich revokes the contractual approvals of all PSG players signed starting from 25 June 2021, the date of the last inspection carried out by the French authorities.

This would include both Mbappé’s new contract, which it will require payments of 500 million euros over three yearsas detailed by the lawyer, like that of Messi, who arrived at the club in August 2021 and who has since also been the subject of a legal proceeding led by Branco himself at the request of a group of Barcelona members.

The announcement of the lawsuit brought forward by the LFP came four weeks after Mbappé, who had been flirting with Real Madrid for months and whose contract with PSG had expired on 30 June, announced that he would renew his relationship with the club for three years. Parisian club.

The lawyer announced that he was also preparing an administrative appeal for the French Professional Football League to carry out an inspection of the PSG’s accounts through the National Directorate of Control and Management (DNCG), a supervisory body on the financial health of sports organizations in That country.

“Nowadays, Mbappé cannot play for PSG. Even knowing that it will be difficult (to obtain a favorable sentence), considering that President Emmanuel Macron himself asked him to stay ”, acknowledged the lawyer, who, however, was confident that this process will finally flourish in supranational instances.

Branco has already warned that if his request receives a setback from the French justice, he will turn to the European Commission “to ask it to intervene to harmonize the regulations” or to initiate “a formal procedure for abuse of dominant position”. And he has warned that, if necessary, he will appeal to the Court of Justice of the European Union.

“We are looking for a new decision like the Bosman (law), which liberalized the market (in 1995). Now what we want is for the market to be regulated and the (financial) rules of the (Spanish) League, which are very strict, are extended throughout Europe, “said Branco, who gained public notoriety for his connection with the Yellow Vests movement and for representing Julian Assange in France.

The jurisconsult considered that PSG had not respected the balance between income and expenses established by the French professional football league thanks to the subsequent moratoriums granted. “It was expected that this season he would enter 180 million euros from player sales to have a financial balance and sold only one player for 7 million, and on top of that he renewed Mbappé,” he explained.

Branco stressed that PSG and other “state or oligarchic clubs” such as Manchester City have undermined European football by forcing regulatory compliance institutions to increase their revenues from selling tickets or shirts to compete on foot. Among those alleged victims would be super-powerful institutions such as Real Madrid or Barcelona.

The lawyer went further and felt that the French League was particularly contemplative with PSG because that tournament depended directly on the money contributed by the Qatar Sovereign Investment Fund, owner of the multi-champion club.

Not satisfied with this, he assured that Qatar’s strong investments forced the emirate to raise the price of gas sold to Europe. “Qatari money is not magical, as you might think. All of us, consumers of electricity, pay what was spent to renovate Mbappé “he ventured.
