Mbappe is anticipated to make a transfer to Spain in the upcoming summer, signing with Real Madrid on a free transfer. He communicated to Paris Saint-Germain that he will be departing the club as his contract concludes at the end of the season. The addition of Mbappe to La Liga might generate heightened interest in the Spanish top flight, similar to the impact Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo had during their tenures at Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively.

Tebas insists La Liga has not been Һᴜгt by Messi and Ronaldo’s departures and feels bringing Mbappe to Madrid will see the competition grow even more.

“[Messi and Ronaldo leaving] didn’t cause any Ԁамаɡe because we didn’t shrink, but with them, we would certainly have grown faster,” the La Liga president told A Bola. “The French league with Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe didn’t grow, Cristiano Ronaldo went to Italy and the Italian league’s international revenues didn’t increase, ours did even though we lost them both. The reason is that both sponsors and audiovisual media care most about is that the competition is economically sustainable, that seven years later it continues to be very competitive and that in Spain there are always very good players, this year we have the best of the world that is [Jude[ Bellingham, last season [Robert] Lewandowski was at a great level, Atletico has [Antoine] Griezmann if Mbappe comes that will help us to be more competitive and grow even faster.”

The Premier League stands as the preeminent force in global football, recognized as the wealthiest league in Europe and renowned for being the most prestigious division. Nevertheless, Tebas believes that La Liga takes the lead in terms of the sporting aspect.

He added: “Adding up the budgets of all first division teams, the Premier League’s total budget is 1.8 times larger than La Liga, but we are in a sector where not everything is economics, there is also the sporting part and, in this aspect, our European history in recent years is ahead, we have won 60 percent of the titles, in the current Champions League there are four Spanish and two English teams, what we have to see in football is the balance between the two aspects, the sporting and the economic, in the first we are better, in the second the Premier League wins.”
