Paris Saint-Germain have posted record losses of £192.4million (€224.3m) for the 2020-21 campaign – prior to completing the high-profile summer transfer of Lionel Messi from Barcelona.
The club’s latest financial figures for the campaign played behind closed doors showed that they lost out on £31million from their normal ticket revenue while at the same time salary expenses rose by a whopping 21 percent to £431million.
Remarkably, the club’s wage bill for this season exceeded the combined total of 14 of their 19 rivals in Ligue 1.
