PSG threatened by Uefa sanctions

Paris Saint-Germain are under threat of being sanctioned by Uefa’s Financial Fair Play regulations.

The Paris club are funded by the Qatari Investment Authority (QTA) who took over in 2011 and the club have been extremely active in the transfer market ever since.

The likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani, Thiago Silva and Ezequiel Lavezzi have all signed on to the PSG project for large transfer fees. It is estimated the French champions have spent in the region of £250 million on transfer fees in the last three seasons in a bid for European glory.

L’Equipe report thatUefa are seeking information about a contract that exists between PSG and the QTA that does not allow the capital club to exceed a €45 million (£37 million) deficit and provides €200 million (£165 million) in funds. 

The contract, which is said to have been authorised by Uefa for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 season, is now being questioned by the governing body.

The worry is that the figures are too high relative the standard practice of other European clubs, which could lead to a moratorium for PSG and signed by Uefa.

That would see the Paris club forced to reduce their spending and reduce its payroll.

PSG have again been heavily linked with several top players this summer, with Paul Pogba, Miralem Pjanic, Eden Hazard and David Luiz all reported targets.

Any imposed sanction will force PSG to rethink their summer transfer policy.
