The President of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, has demanded that Lionel Messi’s takeoff from Barcelona won’t influence TV rights.

Messi showed up in France to finish paperwork for Paris Saint-Germain as a free specialist this week.

The 34-year-old was invited by an enormous group from the air terminal to the club’s offices in Paris.

Many spectators have recommended that TV numbers will drop for LaLiga, similarly as Ligue 1 numbers are required to ascend because of the Messi factor.

Tebas, talking on Thursday, said: “Clearly, it harms that Messi leaves, yet we’ve tried sincerely so our varying media pay doesn’t fall.

“There’s no statement in our global TV rights contracts for if Messi goes… [Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar] are significant, they help, however they aren’t essential.”
