Barcelona fans drag Messi, PSG to court
Following the signing of Lionel Messi from FC Barcelona to Paris Saint Germain (PSG), an European Court is set to consider whether the signing of the Argentinian star violated UEFA’s financial fair play rules in 2021.
This development is following a petition by a group of FC Barcelona supporters’ group in Lyon.
As a result, a chamber of the European Court in Luxembourg will have to examine whether the signing of Messi by PSG breached financial fair play on Tuesday.
Although Messi’s signing was as a free transfer, the salary of the former Barcelona player (40 million euros this season) is what has caused this whole situation.
This legal issue regarding Messi comes at the worst time for PSG, as right now there is a tense atmosphere due to Mbappe’s alleged desire to leave the team in January.
However, Messi who is having a good season in France, and although no new details of this complaint will be known until next week, PSG will be worried from 09:30 on Tuesday when the investigation begins.
