"If I would have had the courage to relegate Barca? If the judge says so..."

La Liga president Javier Tebas in an interview with 'Deporte Plus+' referred to the 'Negreira affaire' and Juanma Castano took the opportunity to ask him if he would have had the courage to relegate Barca. "If the judge says so... That's for a magistrate to decide, as happened with Elche a few years ago. The only capacity I have is to denounce certain facts, and I would have denounced it. The level of sanctioning does not correspond to me," he said.
"The investigation will take a long time, but there are behaviours that cannot be explained. We have already seen that in the Osasuna case their board were condemned, but the club were not. I can't get too far ahead of myself. It is being investigated through criminal channels, and we are also being active. The club can be condemned, but the directors can be acquitted," he explained.
Regarding the low spending by La Liga clubs on transfers compared to other championships such as the Premier League, Tebas said: "In the Premier League, I think that money has been wasted. I don't want to give examples of players, but maybe they have been overrated. The only one we can compare ourselves to is the Bundesliga because we are both sustainable. Barca are penalising us there because of their economic situation. It's the first time they have made an extraordinary signing in terms of money, which is Kane. The Premier League has lost more than 5000 million euros in five years and we haven't lost five".
Likewise, he continued in the same vein: "We could do that model of league, give free rein, let a few Americans arrive and we would be close to the Premier League. The most disadvantaged would be Madrid and Barca, who don't have an owner who puts up the money. In Italy there are several backers and the government has recently granted the clubs a debt deferment. They have very interesting tax regulations for players coming from abroad. Between the sponsors, the debt to the state and the tax benefit, I don't think La Liga should look at that model. In France, 60% of the salaries come from PSG.
