BARCELONA (Reuters) - La Liga chief Javier Tebas has said there is a 90 percent chance the first Spanish top flight game in the United States will be Girona's 'home' match against Barcelona in January and revealed the league will earn 200 million euros ($232.80 million) for playing games in North America.
Tebas added that Girona's joint majority shareholders Manchester City had encouraged the Catalan side to get involved in the initiative, part of a 15-year deal the league signed with U.S. entertainment company Relevent last month, while stating that no club was obliged to play games in the U.S.
