La Liga chief slams PSG over Neymar deal

La Liga president Javier Tebas feels Paris Saint-Germain are "laughing at the system" and Neymar has "peed from the diving board" into the swimming pool of Spanish football.

The Brazil star stunningly joined PSG from Barcelona for a world-record €222 million in August, demonstrating the scale of the threat the Ligue 1 powerhouse now poses to Europe's established hierarchy.

Speaking at Soccerex, Tebas was asked if he was concerned about Barca's Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid following the example set by Neymar in departing LaLiga for the riches on offer elsewhere.

"I think the buy-out clauses of these players are higher but if [PSG chairman] Nasser [Al-Khelaifi] wants them, he can just open the gas and buy them," he said, referring to the wealth, derived from fossil fuels, of PSG's owners, the Qatar Investment Authority.

"Maybe PSG can sustain these prices, I don't know. It's very easy for them to manage it, it's not complex. But what we can see after this summer, is they are laughing at the system.

"Neymar has peed from the diving board. And we can't accept this. At least we need to open up a file, this needs to be investigated."
