LaLiga president Javier Tebas has recently sparked a heated exchange with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, turning to social media to voice his frustrations.

This latest flare-up follows the news that Spain’s Administrative Sports Court (TAD) has initiated disciplinary proceedings against Tebas.

The root of the issue is a complaint filed by Perez concerning a substantial £1.68 billion (€2 billion) deal between LaLiga and private equity firm CVC Capital Partners.

The deal, known as the ‘Boost LaLiga’ project, was agreed upon in December 2021 and grants LaLiga and its clubs a large sum in exchange for 8.2% of the league’s broadcasting and sponsorship income for the next 50 years.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Athletic Bilbao opposed this transaction, arguing that it was unfavorable and lacked proper negotiation transparency.

Tebas Responds with Defiance

In a spirited response posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Tebas rejected the notion that he might be disqualified.

He emphasized that the court case will be contested vigorously, asserting that his position as LaLiga president is secure.

Tebas criticized Perez for trying to undermine him, suggesting that the Real Madrid president is seeking to remove him through less conventional means due to his failed Super League proposal and the overwhelming support for the CVC deal from other clubs.

Support from LaLiga Clubs

Tebas expressed gratitude for the backing he’s received from the majority of LaLiga clubs, which he believes is crucial in these challenging times.

He reassured supporters that he has navigated similar issues before and is confident that this situation will also be resolved.

The Meeting Controversy

Addressing the specifics of the complaint, Tebas clarified that the disciplinary case revolves around the procedural details of the CVC meeting held on August 12, 2021.

The complaint centers on the fact that clubs were given only eight days’ notice rather than the ten days typically required.

Tebas explained that this was a minor procedural issue and noted that the agreement was ultimately approved in December, despite the objections.

Tebas remains steadfast in his position, emphasizing that the CVC deal has been upheld by the courts and asserting that the legal challenges from Real Madrid have been unsuccessful.
