Paris Saint-Germain accepted Barcelona’s complaint about Lionel Messi transfer

Paris Saint-Germain accepted Barcelona’s complaint about Lionel Messi transfer, amid rumours of a return to the Camp Nou.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi poked fun at Barcelona in a recent interview and questioned the legitimacy of their summer expenditures.

The Paris Saint-Germain president said that given the Catalan powerhouse’ well-documented financial struggles, he was perplexed as to how the club was able to finance the moves of so many elite players this season.

According to a huge number of internet commenters, the 48-year-old even continued by saying that their investment had been unfair in a number of sharp remarks that were mainly unsolicited. A new development, nevertheless, may shed light on why there seems to be some friction between the two clubs.

According to the most recent information given by Què T’hi Jugues, a group of socios filed a lawsuit against Lionel Messi’s transfer to PSG in 2021. The Court of the European Union has heard the appeal and will issue a decision soon.

According to additional information, the Parisians’ compliance with Financial Fair Play, salary costs, and how their extravagant spending is lessening competitiveness amongst teams in Europe are the subjects of the complaint.

The socios’ statement that “We want to heal European football” is mentioned.

In 2022, the Ligue 1 giants were one of the eight clubs in the continent to receive a €65 million fine for breaching FFP rules.

Since their takeover by Qatar Sports Investment over the French side, many have questioned whether financial malpractices have been undertaken to turn the team into a true European superclub.

While said debate will rage on, it seems as if the relationship between Barça and PSG soured ever since the much-publicised deal that made Neymar the most expensive transfer in the history of the game.

The bottom line is that one must wait to see if Paris Saint-Germain is penalized after Barcelona filed their protest.
