PSG is in trouble for Lionel Messi's transfer, here is what happens next

Paris Saint Germain is in big trouble. If having the best players in the world already implies a lot of work for Christophe Galtier's coaching staff, now PSG's lawyers will have to deal with a legal problem. It seems that the signing of Lionel Messi did not please many people and now it will be evaluated by the justice of the European Union.

On October 18 a lawsuit hearing will take place to examine the signing of Leo Messi by PSG. This lawsuit was submitted in August 2021 by a group of Barcelona partners based in France. According to the press in Europe, the judges will examine whether there was a breach of "financial fair-play" in the transfer of the Argentine.

In addition, it will also be evaluated if there was any problem between the Spanish and French leagues. As if that were not enough, they will assess whether there was illegal aid from the French State to PSG within the framework of its cooperation with Qatar.

It is not the first time that they investigate

When the Frenchman Kylian Mbappé arrived in 2017, UEFA investigated the transfer of the Frenchman to Paris Saint Germain because his value was close to 222 million euros. A rather unusual figure that was thought to have violated Financial Fair Play, which prevents more money from being spent than is generated.
