Posted on January 1, 2022 at 11:30 am by T.M. Driven by the financial might of Qatar, PSG were used to not spending a lot of money and giving up crazy sums to recruit. But today, in the French capital, things have completely changed… 222M € for Neymar or 180M € for Kylian Mbappé . In the past, the PSG has shown he can splurge a lot to afford the biggest stars in football. It must be said that since 2011, the capital club have entered a new era with the arrival of QSI and the Qataris.

If things have calmed down a bit lately, a possible arrival of Franck Kessié today at AC Milan has also been mentioned. And finally, it would always be a question of Paul Pogba at PSG . Close to coming during the offseason, the Manchester United player could finally land next summer and the connection between Leonardo and Mino Raiola could to help. To be continued…
