There is a new war between the FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and LaLiga, to which has added the Athletic of Bilbao, the third team that, to the equal that the two 'big' of Spain, does not agree with the agreement between the patronal and the CVC, that will inject to the competition 2.700 million euros that will deliver between the clubs, to give back in the next 40 years to a low interest. The bottom investor, thus, will perceive 11% total of the no audiovisual businesses and 10,95% of the audiovisual in 50 years.

This Friday, the three teams of the Spanish competition issued a communiqué in which they have detailed that impugnaron the agreement approved in the Assembly of the past 12 August. They aimed, in this sense, that "was adopted in the frame of a notoriously irregular and disrespectful procedure with the minimum exigible guarantees to these effects, especially in front of an operation of such transcendence and length".

Now, the patronal has issued a communiqué answering to the of the Barça, Madrid and Athletic. "It surprises that they impugn something of what still do not know the end and more when already it left clear that these three clubs (FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and AthleticClub ) would not see affected economically, only benefited of the growth that LaLiga goes to have in the next years", began saying in the writing.

In the second point of the communiqué, aimed that "LaLiga has the support of the operation of the 39 clubs except the three mentioned, and will follow working together with CVC by something that understand that it is good for LaLiga and also for the clubs". Likewise, they stood out in third place that "the three clubs impugn something that does not affect them of direct form, on the contrary, these clubs will see benefited by the growth of LaLiga like competition, leaving in evidence that what do not want to is the expansion and growth of the rest of clubs".

They have added an aclaratoria regarding 'LaLiga Impulse', which "as it has explained in diverse occasions from LaLiga, clear that the agreement between LaLiga and CVC is a strategic association, does not treat of a financial operation as they express these clubs in his communiqué".

'Stick' to the Real Madrid

In the last point of the communiqué issued by the patronal, chaired by Javier Thebes, have answered directly to the Real Madrid, that "in the last years have been him desestimadas more than twenty judicial resolutions related with the projects, agreements and acts of LaLiga derived of the application of the Royal decree-Law 5/2015 and of the process of audiovisual commercialisation, being the current situation an example more than his attitude of the last contrary years to the common interests of the rest of clubs of LaLiga and to the development of the competition".

To culminate, sentenced that "in this point, clear, that LaLiga respects the rights of the clubs to make the legal actions that consider, but as always, from LaLiga defends the interest of the majority of clubs, in this case the agreement of 39 of the 42 clubs".
