Didn't Marca report the same about Madrid and Mbappe a couple of weeks ago and that proved to be BS? There were many reports from France yesterday that PSG weren't going to bid for Mbappe and I'm inclined to believe them.

Unfortunately at present it is a sellers market , market forces it is called. Unacceptable to some unfortunately. If you don't pay what is required or very close to it you don't get the player you want. With Poch doing so well for us imo I would have expected a larger Argentine contingent in our playing staff by now. Oh but wait that's right he wanted Musacchio when he arrived but we low balled and failed unsurprisingly and went for Fazio instead and that worked out really well.

Technically PSG didn't pay for Neymar. Qatar Sports Investments, who owns PSG, gave Neymar 300m to be an ambassador for the 2022 World Cup (in Qatar). Neymar then paid his own buyout and pocketed the rest of the money. He signed with PSG as a free agent.

I know. I said that same thing a couple of pages back. But I presume there must be something in the FFP regarding this. It's too big a loophole

Completely agree, and if there's not, there needs to be something done to close that loophole

Completely agree it makes a mockery of the word fair play!

PSG will blatantly just end their Emirates deal and sign a conveniently larger deal with Qatar Airways or something.

The UEFA financial fair play regulations say that if there is a transaction between related parties (and in the case of PSG any part of the Qatar government or any body influenced by the Qatar government would be a related party) then UEFA can appoint a third party to assess what would be the fair value of that transaction and can use that fair value in assessing whether the financial fair play rules have been met. It's paragraph 6 of Section F if anybody is interested.
So PSG can't dodge the financial fair play rules by dodgy deals.

Its a nice premise, problem is with access to the worlds top lawyers etc, loopholes are found to get around practically any part of FFP.

UEFA could and should be tougher. The rules would let them be so.

In truth FFP is supposed to prevent teams from overspending and going under - which it seems to be relatively successful with. Financial doping is only a side part and one they seem far less concerned and strict with.

PSG
I doubt PSG would offer bad wages, so he clearly doesn't want to go there. Or he just wants reassurances of playing time

To be honest it seems that PSG have offered enough for the club to sell to them and as you say, they will pay well enough so if he really wanted to go there this would have been wrapped up ages ago, its pretty clearto me that he doesn't want to go there and if he ends up there it will under pressure and he will just be resigned to it.
I would like to think if the club had accepted our offer he'd be here by now.
Cheers for the updates by the way Ossie85.
