Barcelona LFP president says LaLiga is bigger than Brazilian

Barcelona and LaLiga could lose one of their star players this summer, but the potential departure of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain doesn't worry the league's president Javier Tebas as much as losing Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo would.

He pointed to the fact that the Blaugrana are bigger than one player when asked how he'd feel if the Brazilian crossed the northern border.

"LaLiga and Barcelona are bigger than Neymar," Tebas said.

"I would be more worried if Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi left."

The league's chief also talked about filing a complaint against the Ligue 1 club over violations to the Financial Fair Play rules.

"Even if they don't pay the release clause [of Neymar] we will report them," he promised.

"They cannot make up some commercial numbers that are bigger than Barcelona or Real Madrid.

"Nobody believes that, which means that the state of Qatar is injecting money and that violates Financial Fair Play."

Tebas said that those in charge at the Parc des Princes had already been warned that LaLiga might act if they didn't shift their spending in line with income.
