It’s Atlético de Madrid’s turn to break the silence after the decision of the Spanish Sports Council (CSD) to agree with FC Barcelona and register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor in La Liga for this second part of the season. After Las Palmas earlier in the day, it is the turn of a Spanish leader to protest and worry about the legal consequences that this affair could have. “Atlético de Madrid wants to show its deep concern about the situation generated in Spanish football after the resolution adopted this Wednesday by the Superior Sports Council. We consider that this decision endangers the current system, calling into question the rules of the game», Starts the Colchoneros press release. The latter judge that the rules relating to financial fair play in La Liga have been flouted.
“Sports law includes and protects the economic control of La Liga. With this resolution, he is put in danger. The economic control of La Liga has been the main tool put in place in our football to ensure its solvency. It is a tool admired internationally. Our club, like all members of La Liga until this resolution, have respected the rules of economic control and we will continue to respect them. Indeed, in order to be competitive at the level that we have reached in recent years, we have decided to carry out various capital increases, despite the enormous effort that this entails.» The capital club concludes its press release by criticizing what it calls political interference. “This government intervention sets a very dangerous precedent, because it opens the door to violations of the rules and the repetition of serious mistakes of the past. Atlético de Madrid maintains its commitment to rigor and responsible management. Without clear and equal rules for all, there is no fair competition possible.»
