Man City Playsdown Comments from La Liga President

Manchester City claimed comments made by the president of LaLiga about the club's spending are "pure fiction". 

Javier Tebas, speaking at a Soccerex event on Wednesday, suggested super-rich clubs including City and Paris Saint-Germain have an unfair advantage over European rivals despite Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. 
 
LaLiga's outspoken president also warned City - linked with a stunning move for Lionel Messi, who has a €300million release clause, even larger than the €222m paid for Neymar - could complete similar massive deals due to their riches. 
 
"Manchester City with all this oil [money] will take all these players and we need to protect ourselves," Tebas said. 
 
And City responded strongly to accusations from Tebas regarding the bankrolling of the club by owner Sheikh Mansour, of Abu Dhabi's ruling family. 

"We note the public comments made by Mr Tebas today and earlier this week," City Football Group said in a widely-reported statement on Wednesday. "UEFA's statement of the 4th of September is clear and based on accurate information.

By contrast, Mr Tebas' statemnts are ill-informed and in parts pure fiction. As you would expect, Manchester City Football Club and the City Football Group are seeking appropriate legal counsel and will act accordingly on that advice."
