When it comes to showcasing La Liga, there is no one better at doing it than Javier Tebas. In a press conference on Thursday, the LaLiga boss compared the Spanish league to the Premier League, discussing the summer transfer window and the amount of money spent. Speaking of recruitment, Kylian Mbappé has just arrived here and our national team has just won the Euros with 24 players from our academies, most of them playing in La Liga. I don’t think this sector is all about recruitment, it’s more about finding a balance. You just have to look at how the Premier League recruits, where a lot of players end up being transferred here and there for tons of money. But we are the league that knows best how to spend its money in proportion to the results we then get on the pitch. »
” Football is changing in terms of market strategyhe continues. Real Madrid who brought Mbappé in on a free transfer. They were patient, they waited and ended up signing one of the best players in the world, on the same level as Bellingham or Vinicius. They built an extraordinary team without spending a lot of money. On the other hand, Barcelona currently has many young players who have grown up in their academy and for whom any English team would like to spend a lot of money. So I don’t worry too much about the money spent. The important thing is to find the right balance between sporting performance on the pitch and financial investment. And to find this balance, the Spanish league is the best. »
