» Paris Saint-Germain prove to be false ' a slanderous misrepresentations' from Lyon president
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas alleged
PSG are not subject to the same tax laws as others, a claim the club
from the capital have denied.
Paris Saint-Germain have denied
"slanderous misrepresentations" levelled at the club by Lyon president
Jean-Michel Aulas, who suggested the Ligue 1 champions enjoy tax
privileges.
Speaking at Lyon's presentation of new signing Maciej Rybus, Aulas
was critical of PSG's treatment of coach Laurent Blanc, who is
reportedly close to being replaced by Unai Emery despite guiding the
team to a second successive domestic treble in 2015-16.
The OL chief also indicated the club from the capital are subject to
different taxation to other French sides due to their Qatari ownership.
"I read in the press that PSG were considering ending their contract with the coach. I'm shocked," said Aulas.
"When we talk about compensation for coaches who just won three
titles, and when this compensation is equal to the global revenue of
many clubs in Ligue 1, it concerns me.
"When we are French, we pay taxes like everyone else. When we are
Qatari, I understand there are better tax rules than the others."
However, PSG have denied the allegations, insisting they are "very respectful of all the rules of French law".
"Following the news and slanderous misrepresentations of Jean-Michel
Aulas on Paris Saint-Germain, the club would like to recall that it
enjoys no special or privileged tax treatment," a club statement read.
"The club has always been very respectful of all the rules of French
law, the French Football Federation and the Professional Football
League.
"Paris Saint-Germain invite Jean-Michel Aulas once again to focus his
comments solely on the affairs of his club and to refrain from
denigrating others, Paris Saint-Germain in particular.
"The club recalls for their part that they have always shown itself
to be respectful in relation to all of the French clubs and their
directors.
"The sporting and economic results of our club, as well as its media
impact, represent more than ever major assets for French football in
order to attract more investors in the future, Lyon and elsewhere."
