Javier Tebas would be pleased the return of Neymar to Spain’s top flight amid reports that the Brazilian star could depart Paris Saint-Germain this summer to join Real Madrid.
Asked about the importance of Neymar returning to play back in Spain’s top flight, Tebas told Cadena Ser radio: “For La Liga, I agree it is [important]. I don’t know where he would go. But how am I going to say no?
“One thing is to say that it doesn’t affect La Liga so much and the figures are there to prove it and another is to say that I don’t want one of the best players. Just as I would love to have [Manchester City manager] Pep Guardiola and [Manchester United manager] Jose Mourinho back coaching in Spain. It’s a spectacle to have those two coaches, I would like to have them. But that’s not to say that we can’t grow the same way without them.”
Tebas and La Liga attempted to block Neymar’s transfer to PSG, claiming that the French club’s bid of €222m (£198m) was in breach of financial fair play (FFP) rules.
