The Ligue 1 giants appear to be financially healthy, considering the departures of Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr., and Sergio Ramos created breathing room on their wage bill. Furthermore, the Brazilian’s exit also brought in a reported €90 million from Al-Hilal.
As a result, the Parisians seem to be heading in the right direction regarding their finances even as they move away from the superstar era. PSG spent a lot of money this summer but brought in a significant amount to offset the costs.
