Herbert Hainer questions PSG’s adherence to Financial Fair Play
The Bayern Munich president is surprised by the French club’s shopping spree in the summer transfer window.
Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, and Gianluigi Donnarumma are among Paris Saint-Germain's summer purchases for the new season. The French club, who already had a star-filled squad before the summer, have managed to get most of their targets on free deals. However, Bayern Munich president
Herbert Hainer
is curious to see how the French giants have managed to balance their wage bill considering the FFP restrictions.
"I'm still trying to understand how that goes along with financial fair play,"
Hainer told SportBild's
Bayern Insiderpodcast.
"As PSG is currently upgrading, we will take a very close look at how that can be reconciled with UEFA rules. We stick to it, then we expect other clubs to do the same.
"I'm not too quick to judge Paris, but the purchasing policy is already huge. It's not the transfer fees, it's the salaries.
"When I hear that Messi earns €40 million (£34m/$47m) net, that's €80m (£69m/$94m) gross. In addition, [Achraf] Hakimi, Ramos, Donnarumma - a lot comes together."
Bayern and PSG were two of the major clubs that decided against joining the European Super League earlier this year. However, PSG’s latest signings have drawn criticism toward the Qatar-backed club for their potential breaching of the Financial Fair Play rules.
