The majority of football clubs have experienced the negative economic impact of the pandemic – but the Parisian club is not one of them.
La Liga president Javier Tebas has hit out at Paris Saint-Germain over their transfer business this summer, insisting the club itself is “dangerous to football’s ecosystem.”
Paris Saint-Germain bustling with transfer activity through the duration of the summer market.
A total of six additions was made to Mauricio Pochettino’s squad, with Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Georginio Wijnaldum, Nuno Mendes being the new faces.
While they spent just €60 million as the majority of their business constituted of free transfers, PSG are understood to have spent a significant sum on sign-on fees, agent fees, and player wages.
The Qatar-owned side also reportedly turned down an eye-watering €200 million offer from Real Madrid for Kylian Mbappe – something probably no other club can afford to do.
“The state clubs are as dangerous to football’s ecosystem as the [European] Super League was,” Tebas said in a Twitter post.
“We criticised the Super League because it would destroy European football, and we have to be just as critical of PSG.
“COVID losses of over 300 million euros, TV revenues in France are down 40 percent, and over 500 million euros on salaries. It’s unsustainable.”
