Since the arrival of QSI in 2011, PSG has been able to make considerable investments in terms of transfer window, becoming one of the clubs with the greatest purchasing power on the planet and rising among the European elite. But at the same time, the Parisians also had to deal, throughout this time, with UEFA’s financial fair play…
The principle is clear: try to avoid inequalities and ensure that clubs respect a certain financial balance, not spending (much) more than what they obtain through the sale of players or the signing of sponsorship contracts. Several times in recent seasons, the Parisian team has been caught by the patrol. In 2022, PSG was for example fined 65 million euros, 55 million of which was suspended.
In the nails once again
Last year, PSG managed to get into the lead. What about this season then? As the daily indicates The Team, everything seems correct once again, and PSG is in the green in the eyes of the UEFA financial control body. Even if it is true that the capital club suffered a loss of 110 million euros as indicated in the latest DNCG report, the inflows of money linked to the Champions League, the departures of large salaries like Lionel Messi and Neymar and the 200 million euros of CVC which will fall this summer allow Parisian leaders to be calm.
Good financial management and a slightly less aggressive attitude in the last transfer window which will therefore allow the Parisians to escape financial sanctions, but also other punishments which could have been a smaller list of registered players or the ban on registering new players during European competitions. PSG can breathe.
