"Matt sheik" to the European football: PSG and City change radically the rules of the game

If there is a worry that has governed the world of the football in the recent years has been the immense peak that the "clubs been" like the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and the Manchester City have had in the last years.

And it is not by at all, like this it went like the president of LaLiga, Javier Thebes, referred to said entities in February of 2019 during an interview: "The leaders of the football of the European need to show a stronger commitment with the health of the domestic football. This includes strong financial controls to limit to the clubs-been like the Manchester City or the PSG of a cost desorbitado with regard to his rivals and that it was stronger that the Fair Play financial, that still is feeble in this point".

And it added: "These clubs been go against our financial norms in Spain. Any investor that want to go in to LaLiga needs to accept our financial controls. Besides, we do not allow the entrance of any investor that only generate debt or that pretend inflar the market. We do not go to allow it ".

The "clubs been"

In a side finds the PSG, which belongs to the group Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) from 2011. Since, the president and owner of the club is Nasser To the Khelaifi. By the another, the combined of the "citizens" was bought in 2008 by the Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment which is property of Mansour bin Zayed To the Nahayan.

Mansour No only was viceprimer minister of the Arab Emirates, also went minister of presidential subjects and is of the royalty of Abu Dhabi. To the khelaifi, by his part, is an employer and ex player of Tennis, but has fixed them to him to occupy a place in the UEFA, another in the Federation of Tennis of Catar, vice-president of Asian Federation of Tennis and president of Bein Sports (To the Jazeera Sports) and with a lot of connections with the government of Qatar.

Said owners, came with an enormous financial engine that allowed to both teams to obtain a big advantage regarding the rest of the main teams of Europe, including to clubs of weight like the Barcelona or the Real Madrid.

Relations complicated

The deal that there has been between the authorities of the world of the football and the one of the authorities futbolísticas like the UEFA has arrived to be difficult and complicated. The best proof of this was the sanction against the Manchester City by two seasons that forbade to said club participate in any European competition by destined actions to trick the norms referents to the Fair Play financial, which establish the balance between income and egresos of each team.

This occurred in 2020, but his sanction was raised months afterwards by the Court of Arbitration of the Sport (TAS by his acronyms in English). The relation with the PSG never has been the best by the same subject, although the authorities of the UEFA seem to carry better with the owners of the Parisian club, proof of this is the fact that now To the Khelaifi occupy a place inside the UEFA.

This if, neither have remained exentos of controversy. In more than an occasion the authorities of the UEFA have been signalled to do the fat sight when the PSG has violated the rules referents to this point or even would have arrived to relax the norms in function of the interests of the combined French. Also it has avivado this the controversy by the possible signing of Messi due to the fact that the numbers do not seem to square him neither to the club having already the heavy index cards of Neymar and Mbappé.

With the rest of teams

The relations of both teams also have been difficult with the rest of the clubs. Another moment that left it in evidence was when the Barcelona almost taenia list the signing of the centrocampiosta Dutch Georginio Wijnaldum, but the directors of the PSG tumbaron all the effort and work of the Barcelona offering him to east an agreement the double of sustancioso, what finished of incentivar to the footballer to go to Paris.

Even keeping the rules referents to the Fair Play Financial, the true is that everything aims to that the relations with the referred entities will keep on being complicated, and no only by the Fair Play financial. A lot of clubs of Europe will follow seeing with distrust to these giants, and more while it follow the controversy.
