Leo Messi is not only the most unbalanced soccer player in the world , is also a marketing asset for anyone involved with it : your colleagues, your sponsors, your businesses and Of course your team. Whichever season is next will have the highest bonuses than this one, that certainly.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Paris Saint-Germain is the entity that is most on the lookout for the historic signing of the Argentine who would raise his popularity to a level never seen before and of course, would contribute a lot to get that Champions League that already so obsessed the French team.
And not only is Messi, PSG also aims high with the hypothetical signing of Sergio Ramos who would give an unprecedented leadership to this team that would suddenly have a roster more like the Hall of Justice.
But… Is it feasible? That is, the club has unlimited resources, that is known to all, but Does Financial Fair Play allow it? First, let’s do accounts:
The Parisian team already managed to reach the Champions League final last year with a team full of stars and who charge as such: Neymar is around the $ 34 millions of dollars annually , followed by Kylian Mbappé who perceives close to 25 , not much more than Icardi, Di María or Marquinhos.
At this already high payroll, the club would have what to add gar to two of the most famous players in the world , starting with Messi, the one who charges the most, about $ 100 gross millions per year , evidently his claims to the 34 years will not be equal in height, but it will not change equipment for a much lower figure either.
🎙 Ramos, to Florentino: “At PSG they say they will make a great team with me and Messi”

In all this equation, the current salary of Sergio Ramos of about $ 15 millions of dollars seems even low doing the summation, PSG would be paying stratospheric figures to its footballers s , something UEFA wants to avoid at all costs.
In the full extension of the word, Financial Fair Play refers to a series of measures entered into force in the year 2011, Like u a form of financial control towards the clubs and whose main objective is to control and limit the spending of football clubs to guarantee competitiveness.
It is about clubs not spending more money on salaries than they enter , regardless of whether their owners have unlimited resources. This situation is currently very delicate due to crash of ticket sales revenue and other entrances that have to do directly with the attendance of the public to the stadiums.
Based on this, we could say that the situation is not easy for PSG , who will have to move very intelligently to make his dream come true: a great vintage outfit.
