Ligue 1 clubs Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille are set to be hit by fines over breaches of UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
It comes after 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.
Mbappe is now earning £42.5million (€50m) per annum, which is in addition to his bonus of £153million (€180m) for staying at the Parc des Princes, where he now also has 100 percent control of his image rights.
