The situation is improving for PSG financially. The passage in front of the UEFA police should be without incident.
If the elimination against Borussia Dortmund in the semi-final of the Champions League left a bitter taste in the mouth, PSG could complete, on Saturday, one of the most beautiful seasons in the club’s history. Because in addition to having pushed to the last four of the C1, Luis Enrique’s men have conquered the Champions Trophy, Ligue 1 and will try to achieve the treble with the Coupe de France.
And the leaders of PSG have other reasons to smile: there is also improvement on the financial level. As a result in particular of the departures last summer of Lionel Messi and Neymar, the payroll was considerably reduced. And on this level, the upcoming departure of Kylian Mbappé, paid no less than 6 million euros per month, sounds like good news.
PSG will hit the jackpot this summer
According to L’Equipe, PSG is in any case within the nails set by UEFA since the sanction imposed in the summer of 2022 for its significant deficit. The French champions were then fined 65 million euros, 55 million of which were suspended. Above all, the Ile-de-France club remained under threat of a much heavier sanction if it did not respect the three-year recovery plan.
Since then, PSG has ensured that it complies with the conditions set by the UEFA club financial control body (ICFC). And like last summer, the French champions should meet the expectations of the financial police. The documents sent to the ICFC indeed encourage optimism and PSG should escape penalties.
And optimism is all the more appropriate as PSG, which should hit a nice jackpot thanks to its successful European career, is also preparing to receive the balance of the 200 million owed to it following the agreement between the LFP and the CVC investment fund, a tidy sum of 116.5 million euros. Enough to enable it to display a better financial result during its next appearance before the DNCG. Last summer, the Rouge et Bleu ended the season with a deficit of 110 million euros.
