PSG, the financial report that worries

If the economic potential of the PSG is undeniable, the club of the capital is still much too dependent on the money of Qatar.

Systematically ranked in the Top 10 clubs richest foobtall European since the purchase of the club by the Qataris, the PSG can even boast of economic potential with hardly any equivalent in Europe. According to a study conducted by Soccerex Football Finance, there is even Manchester City and Arsenal to present a greater financial strength.

The study takes into account the fixed assets and sports, the finances of the club, the potential investment of the owner and the debt and the PSG thus emerges in the third place of the rankings, just in front of the Guangzhou Evergrande, then, on a par, Tottenham (5th) and Real Madrid (5th) ahead of the other Manchester club, United (7th). This is followed by Juventus (8th) and Bayern Munich (10th), while Barça are only 13th.

Problem for the PSG, this economic potential is exclusively due to the financial strength of Qatar. Whether via QSI, the owner, or through some sponsors related to the Gulf State, whether Qatar Tourism Authority or Ooredoo. According to the study of Soccerex Football Finance, QSI has already invested more than one billion euros in the club of the capital. Nobody does better. Or worse. Second in the ranking, Manchester City saw its owners invest 788 million euros. Figures on which detractors PSG will not fail to support while vice-champions France are in the sights of UEFA for a possible breach of financial fair play established by the European body.
