La Liga boss Javier Tebas has demanded strict sanctions on Manchester City after an independent panel has allegedly found the club guilty of 114 of 115 breaches of Premier League financial rules.
City have always denied any wrongdoing and are understood to be preparing an appeal, so there is currently no penalty.
Tebas said the breaches, which occurred in 2009, had wider ramifications for European football and should carry a penalty that is a deterrent.
“Punishment should be harsh, not only to set an example, but because it was offside,” Tebas said.
Potential sanctions could be a fine, deduction of points and relegation, with the severity of the punishment yet to be determined by the rest of the legal proceedings.
Tebas also criticised the Court of Arbitration for Sport after it overturned City’s two-year Champions League ban in 2020, claiming UEFA’s earlier punishment should be revisited.
By contrast, Professional Footballers’ Association chief executive Maheta Molango said: “The amount of delay in cases is having an impact on players and is eroding confidence in the system.”
City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has insisted the club remains confident that it can clear its name.
