La Liga not worried by Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City's spending power

Javier Tebas not worried by spending power in Premier League

LA LIGA president Javier Tebas insists Spanish clubs are not worried about the Premier League's spending power.

 

Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinze Rummenigge said last week that German clubs couldn't compete with the spending power in England.

Premier League giants such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United have been boosted in the transfer market due to increasingly lucrative TV deals.

 

But Tebas believes the summer transfer window shows that teams in Spain can continue to attract top players.

He told Sky Sports: "It is always going to be a tough competition when you look at the money the Premier League gets.

"But I think we [La Liga] are on a roll because more transfers took place in the Spanish league in the last transfer window than ever before in football history.

"£436.8m was spent and that is not counting Real Madrid and Barcelona.

"Barcelona could not spend and Real Madrid chose not to.

"We know it is tough to compete with the Premier League but we are moving in the right direction and becoming more competitive as the years go by."
