A sudden financial fiasco has thrown Premier League giants Manchester City into the limelight, with implications not only limited to the Premier League, but potentially spreading to the entire European soccer world. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), which has been in the spotlight due to the Financial Fairness Act, has also not been spared, as the team's recent contract renewal talks with Lionel Messi have reached a stalemate, with rumors circulating that the club is asking the new king to take a cut in his salary to renew his contract, with no signing bonus to speak of.
Despite the fact that PSG is backed by the Qatar Sports Investment Fund, the club's payroll expenses are already overloaded after the signing of Kylian Mbappe. This quarter, the team needs to face the pressure of a debt of up to €300 million. Mbappe's annual salary of up to 94 million euros after tax, Neymar 40 million euros, Messi 30 million euros, to maintain the "invincible trident" lineup, the club if you want to avoid financial irregularities, it is not easy.
Lionel Messi has just led the Argentine national team to the World Cup title, solidifying his status as the king of the ball. However, recent rumors indicate that the club's top management has sent Gambos to negotiate with Messi for a contract extension, but with the condition of a pay cut and no signing bonus, which is undoubtedly unacceptable. As a result, there are rumors that Messi may return to Barcelona, and with the Saudis actively courting Messi, the Argentine captain's destination this summer is still full of uncertainty.
