The next couple of weeks could be a little awkward for La Liga president Javier Tebas, a figure who has led the fight against the riches of the Premier League and also managed to anger his own league’s biggest clubs.
Tebas is a one-man quote machine on the financial disparity between Premier League clubs and the rest of Europe, saying as recently as last month that the league was “not financially sustainable”, although Manchester United and their three loan signings might be evidence not every club has splashed the cash as wildly as Chelsea.
But if Tebas is trying to represent the interests of his own league, he’s also been critical of Real Madrid and Barcelona, particularly over their breakaway attempts with the European Super League and the financial problems at the Nou Camp.
