Aren't clubs in France really struggling for funds right now? I thought their television rights deal fell through and all clubs lost a large portion of revenue.
Seems very doubtful to me that they are going to renew Neymar and Mbappe with salary increases and sign Messi for on a free that will come with massive wages as well.
Seems all a bit too much.
Someone finally gets it. They just lost 200m from COVID, and they also lost a lot from their TV deal. They simply cannot afford to sign Messi due to the FFP. If anything, they probably have to sell or release players in the summer to balance the books, especially if they're trying to renew Neymar and Mbappe's contract..... and they'll probably want way more money to stay there.
