Malaga owe players 40 per cent of their wages, claims Spanish Footballers' Association
The union representing the athletes claims that a large chunk of the amount owing has not been paid by the Andalusian club

President of the Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE) Luis Rubiales has hit out at Malaga over the non-payment of 40 per cent of the players' wages.
However, Rubiales has claimed that Malaga have not been fulfilling their contractual obligations towards the players and dismissed the notion that the AFE is against foreign ownership of Spanish clubs.

"On June 31, Malaga's players were owed 35 to 40 per cent of their wages," he told eldesmarquemalaga.com. "A significant sum of cash is owed.

"There have been some complicated situations and we cannot avoid it. The true Malaga fan wants the club to continue to compete with the best conditions.

"There is no one special here, whether they are from Qatar, Japan, Madrid or Huelva. There is a regulation, which I am sure can be improved, because in football things must be done seriously."

The AFE president then revealed that Malaga's players have until the end of Monday to report the situation to the league, but refused to say whether anyone will do it.

Malaga finished fourth in La Liga in 2011-12 and will play in the Champions League play-off round.

The Rosaleda outfit were purchased by a member of the Qatari royal family in 2010 and have since purchased talents players like Martin Demichelis, Santi Cazorla and Joaquin.

Villarreal report Malaga to UEFA over missing Cazorla payments
The Yellow Submarine have lodged a complaint about the Andalusians to the authorities as they have not yet received the complete fee from the 27-year-old's transfer last summer

Villarreal have reported Malaga to UEFA over €3.5 million in unpaid fees concerning the transfer of Santiago Cazorla, Goal.com understands.

The Spain international completed last summer a reported €20m transfer to the Andalusian club, who were in 2010 purchased by a member of the Qatari royal family.

It is understood that Villarreal are still owed €3.5m in taxes from the transfer and that they have long threatened to report Malaga to UEFA.

Former Malaga director Fernando Hierro met with Villarreal on April 11, prior to the Liga match between the two clubs, and it was decided that the fee in question would be paid in two different installments: one in April and the other in May.

However, the Andalusian club have still not met their agreement, forcing the Yellow Submarine to report the case to the governing body for European football.

The news is the latest in a series of stories concerning Malaga's financial problems, and comes just days after the Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE) revealed that the club owe the players 40 per cent of their wages.

Attenzione eh, che se l'Atletico Madrid vince il reclamo Uefa vanno ai preliminari e se si qualificano ai gironi... il Milan saluta la testa di serie...

Ma non erano pieni di soldi, questi?

Si perchè li coprivano le banche, ma adesso che le banche non hanno nemmeno un euro non li "copre" più nessuno.
