During this transfer window, PSG sold three players to Qatari clubs: these transactions are under UEFA scrutiny.
Marco Verratti to Al-Arabi for €50 million, Julian Draxler to Al-Ahli for €9 million, and Abdou Diallo to Al-Arabi for €15 million. Three miraculous sales that UEFA will closely examine.
According to L’Équipe, UEFA may have something to say about these deals. PSG is owned by QSI, a Qatari investment fund, and clubs in Qatar all have more or less close ties to the state. Therefore, they are considered transfers between “related parties.”
UEFA could decide to devalue these transfers in the club’s accounts when calculating Financial Fair Play. PSG has already responded, stating: “There is no problem. QSI is not a shareholder of the buying clubs, and the three players were sold at market prices,” the club explained to the sports daily.
