Paris Saint-Germain are one of 10 clubs to be fined for breaching UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules for the 2020-21 season.
Fellow French clubs Monaco and Marseille are also on the list of fines, alongside Italian quartet Juventus, AC Milan, Inter and Roma, Besiktas of Turkey and Belgian club Anderlecht. Alongside being fined, the clubs will be warned of more severe sanctions if they breach break-even rules again within a fixed period. No clubs from the Premier League or La Liga are included in that period of sanctions.
The sanctions come after – but relate to seasons before – PSG striker Kylian Mbappe opted to sign a three-year contract extension with the Ligue 1 champions earlier this year, keeping him in the French capital until 2025. That made the Frenchman the best-paid player in world football and came less than a year after the French club rejected a world record transfer offer from Real Madrid for the striker.
