La Liga president Javier Tebas has issued his intention to complain to UEFA regarding the transfers of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe.
Tebas has long been a critic of the current transfer market and the spending of Manchester City and PSG.
Haaland recently completed his €60m transfer to City, in a total package thought to be worth up to €250m over five years.
Mbappe meanwhile rejected Real Madrid's advances and opted to stay at PSG with a gigantic new contract which also offered the Frenchman additional power at the club.
Allowing these operations is more dangerous than the (European) Super League.
- Javier TebasTebas has highlighted these particular transfers as a threat to European football in general, and has branded them 'more dangerous than the Super League'.
He said: "I'm not standing up for Real Madrid with the Mbappe issue, I’m standing up for European football.
"This week we will complain against PSG, last week we did it with City. Allowing these operations... is more dangerous than the (European) Super League."
La Liga employs strict salary prohibitions that has reined in spending, particularly at Barcelona and Real Madrid, but Tebas feels that the unrestricted spending of these two clubs in particular is negatively impacting the competitive nature of football.

Tebas stated that not only will he complain to UEFA, but also the European Union and the French administrative courts.
