Announced a few weeks ago in a period of savings, PSG finally left to spend happily in the transfer window. The Parisian club has already dropped 100 million euros before perhaps 200 million more very soon.

With the imperatives of Financial Fair Play, we often forget that PSG is one of the most financially powerful clubs in Europe. The Parisian club is determined to remind its competitors of this during the 2023 summer transfer window. This is already taking shape with the announced transfers of Manuel Ugarte (60 million euros) and Lucas Hernandez (40-50 million euros). With these two players, we are over 100 million spent by PSG. Not really the financial balance sheet of a club which should tighten its belt. Information from the newspaper Le Parisien confirms this trend since the Parisian club still wants to drop nearly 200 million more.

Crazy recipes enough for B.Silva and Kane?

This sum should make it possible to consolidate the Parisian offensive sector. PSG absolutely wants to sign Bernardo Silva, thinking they can reach an agreement with Manchester City for an 80 million euro transfer. According to the Ile-de-France daily, the remaining 120 million would be used to agree Tottenham for a transfer of Harry Kane. Even if the English player wants to go to Bayern, the Parisian club still hopes to make the London club listen to reason and thus compose an attacking trio Mbappé-Kane-Silva. If the Kane track failed, PSG still thinks of attracting Randal Kolo Muani, Marcus Rashford or even Victor Osimhen. But, Naples remains greedy and asks for the 200 million that Paris wants to put on two attacking players for its only Nigerian.

An astonishing financial strength of the Parisians, partly due to the departures of Messi, Ramos and their enormous salaries. But this is also the result of revenue up 20%. The club’s revenues will reach 800 million euros thanks to merchandising, the promotion of the PSG brand but above all thanks to CVC. The Luxembourg fund has paid 1.5 billion euros against part of the Ligue 1 TV rights. This guarantees a check for 200 million euros to PSG over the next three years. If the Parisian club will still have to give up elements of its workforce, its room for maneuver on the market is gradually returning to the level of 2017-2018. A historic season during which PSG had spent 400 million euros for Neymar and Kylian Mbappé alone.
