IMPACT: LaLiga would lose 20% of his value without the Barcelona

Delicate situation the one who lives at present in the Spanish football, that although it try to move away of the noise and the political and social tensions that affect to the relations between Catalonia and Spain, as it is natural sees affected by a hypothetical exit of the FC Barcelona of LaLiga Santander 2017-18, something practically impossible that suceda, but for what all the parts will have to be ready.

The president of the League of Professional Football (LFP), Javier Thebes, has ensured in the last hours that "the competition would lose around 20% or 25% of his volume of business" in the case to remain without the presence of the Catalan teams; a situation that, simultaneously, has forced to delay the international contest of the rights of TV, because of the uncertain consequences of what will occur in the next days.

"The clubs been inflacionan the market, enter money that does not correspond to the football"

"The juridical legislation Spanish is clear: the Catalan clubs will not be able to choose where play", has posited Thebes, asked after a hypothetical stage of independence in which the Catalan clubs, in spite of living in an independent Catalonia, wanted to participate in the Spanish competitions. Thebes, in any case, has confidence in that "it impose the law", has stood out in the closure of the World Football Summit.

As it is natural, the problematic Catalan and Spanish affects to LaLiga, that has had to delay the sale of audiovisual rights waiting for what suceda in the next days. "We have decided to suspend and delay some weeks the international contests", has explained in relation to the commercialisation of said television rights in the countries of the European Union or the Indian, among others countries.

"With the current political situation, was not the moment to celebrate it", has justified Thebes. On the other hand, it does a year the UEFA reached an agreement with the ECA (European Association of Clubs) for the trienio 2018-2021, what supposes a distribution of income that puts in risk the equality in the national competitions, taking into account that the big clubs of Europe will receive even more income.

The clubs been, a danger for the international football

"It supposes a serious danger for the continuity of the national leagues", has ensured Thebes, standing out that said resolution will finish affecting "even to the main European competitions", at least in the long run. In reference to the "clubs been", as for example Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, Thebes thinks that are an authentic danger for the market futbolístico, taking like example what sucedió this summer with the signing of Neymar Jr, that has inflacionado until limits insospechados the market of European signings.

"These clubs inflacionan the market, entering in the football money that does not correspond to the football", has manifested Thebes, requesting the intervention by part of the UEFA to control the effects that these teams have in the market. The legislation of the 'Financial Fair-Play', seemingly, is not sufficient to day of today to prevent that the market of signings break little by little.
