LAST UPDATE | 13 Jun 2018
PARIS ST-GERMAIN HAVE been cleared of breaching any Financial Fair Play [FFP] rules by Uefa but must still rid themselves of €60 million worth of players in order to continue their compliance.
European football’s governing body opened an investigation into the Ligue 1 club in September 2017.
It came in the wake of Neymar’s €227 million move from Barcelona to the French capital.
However, though PSG have been cleared, Uefa will continue to keep the club “under close scrutiny” as they still require income of €60m by the end of this month or face sanction for overspending.
“The financial impact of transfer activities as from the 2017 summer — up to and including the upcoming transfer window — and compliance with the break-even requirement for the 2018 financial year will remain under close scrutiny and will be thoroughly looked at in the coming weeks,” Uefa said in statement.

If PSG didnt break any rules then FFP is an even bigger joke than I thought.
@Dan: absolutely, Just get rid of it , it’s complete BS
@Dan: yet they are only 3rd in the list for top net spenders for last 5 years, €100million less than man utd with city having spent even more. Where is the investigation into those clubs?
@John Buckley: PSG have spent more money on players in the last 3 years than what the club brings in through revenue. The other clubs haven’t
If they sell Neymar to Madrid will that clear the debt
The transfer market needs to be capped at 50 million its a joke the price of players. The smaller clubs are never goin to compete in this market and are just going to get weaker.
I would not be averse to Klopp going for Draxler now.
WTF? No FFP for PSG? FFS.
@David Clarke: LOL SMH
PSG show no regard for ffo yet severa teams trying their hardest to meet their ffp restrictions are still getting the book thrown at them.
@Seamus Cummins: it’s a bit of a joke alright. You have all these teams that are living within their means, yet they come up against the PSGs and Man Citys that have abused the “regulations” and get away with it. If they don’t raise the €60mill and don’t get heavily sanctioned ie kicked out if Europe, then FFP will have been proven to be completely toothless and they may as well do away with it. It’ll be nothing but mealy-mouthed BS
