ANDThe president of LaLiga, Javier Thebesdescribed as “strong” the millionaire commission that, according to information from El Confidencial, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) agreed with the Kosmos company, of which the Barcelona player Gerard Piqu is co-owner and CEO, for the transfer of the Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia.
The head of LaLiga assured, in statements to the media present at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell-Conde de God Trophy facilities, that prefer to abstain to give his opinion on what happened until he has read all the information and those involved give their version.
“I have not heard the audio. It is a subject in which until those involved do not give their opinion I am not going to say anything; and they will have to say whether those audios are true or not true, whether what is spoken there is true or not,” he said.
Tebas refers to the audios of the conversations held between the president of the RFEF, Luis Rubialesand the Barça player and documents on the contract signed for six years with the Saudi public company, Sela, which assured the RFEF the amount of 40 million euros for each edition and 4 for Kosmos.
The information published by El Confidencial indicates that Rubiales and Piqu began the search for a stadium for the Super Cup dispute in March 2019, before the president of the RFEF proposed to Real Madrid the possibility of it being in his stadium, although the idea was that it be played at Camp Nou.
However, Tebas I know that he considered that what was explained by El Confidencial “is strong” and, therefore, he prefers to wait to assess what happened. However, he thought that the distribution of money from the Spanish Super Cup that is played in Saudi Arabia “has never been very transparent” and referred to an “important complaint from Valencia” in this regard.
“Putting it abroad seems right to me, we wanted to do it but they haven’t let us. As an idea you do not have my oppositionthen all the intrigues that are behind what one charges or does not charge… there are some issues that I do not agree with, with the issue of distribution, especially the clubs that are not Real Madrid and Barcelona, but I will have what to say when you hear the audios”, zanj.
