La Liga shuts down rumors of financial collapse
La Liga has categorically rejected Spanish media’s claims about the competition’s total financial collapse
La Liga has denied that the organization is in financial trouble after reports in Spanish newspaper claimed so. La Liga is threatening legal action.
The claims was made by the El Espanol publication which published an article that read: "LaLiga in the face of economic collapse: DAZN and CVC are considering breaking their contracts with Javier Tebas".
However, LaLiga issued a swift response on Wednesday rejecting the claims.
They said in the statement it was "absolutely false that DAZN and CVC are studying breaking their contracts with LaLiga".
The statement added:
"It is surprising that, despite not having confirmation from DAZN and CVC, Jorge Calabres and El Espanol have published this false news, citing unspecified "sources in the sector".
"It is also worrying that neither the aforementioned journalist nor any other person from El Espanol has contacted LaLiga to verify the information, in yet another lack of journalistic rigour and professionalism.
"The latter is not surprising, given the obvious campaign of personal attack that El Espanol and Jorge Calabres are in against LaLiga and its president, Javier Tebas, through continuous false, manipulated or misrepresented publications in recent months.
"We will take legal action against those responsible for this publication, and against all those who disseminate these falsehoods, in defence of our interests and those of the clubs."
La Liga’s outspoken president Javier Tebas also came down hard on the claims, calling it “fake news”.
