Neymar Raised PSG Value by 500million

‘Before Neymar, PSG was worth €1bn, now we’re worth €1.5bn’ – PSG president

Paris Saint-Germain might have smashed the world transfer record by signing Neymar from Barcelona for €222 million, but president Nasser Al-Khelaifi believes the club have received value for money.

“Before Neymar signed the club was worth €1bn and now it is worth €1.5bn,” he told reporters on Friday.

“Today he’s the most expensive player ever, but in two or three years will he be? 

“I’m sure we’ll make more money than we’ve paid.”
He also had words for those claiming that PSG are in breach of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
“For people worrying about FFP, go and have a coffee, there are no problems,” he said. “We have been very transparent from day one on FFP. We’re working under the regulations.”
Some suggested that PSG may circumvent the rules by having owners QSI pay Neymar directly and then have the player give the money to Barcelona. Al Khelaifi has dismissed such reports, however.
“What we’ve done is completely transparent and legal – from what the media says, we honestly don’t care,” he said.

“PSG paid his buy-out clause, not Neymar, which is legal.”
