The governing body of European football, Uefa, has fined eight teams for breaking the Financial Fair Play rules, including Paris St-Germain.
PSG has been ordered to make an unconditional 10 million euro (£8.6 million) payment for breaking “break-even” standards, and depending on future compliance, they could make a further 65 million euro (£56.3 million) payment.
Clubs must balance their finances over a three-year period in order to comply with the break-even criterion, which forbids them from spending more than they make.
In the upcoming years, Uefa warned 19 additional teams that they will be “monitored closely.”
Chelsea, Leicester, Manchester City, West Ham, and Rangers are among them.
The fines, which were determined after an examination of the financial years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, were imposed on clubs that participated in Uefa’s 2021–2022 club competitions.
AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Juventus, Besiktas, Marseille, and Monaco are the other seven clubs that must make financial contributions.
Together, they will provide at least 26 million euros (£22.5 million), but no more than 172 million euros (£149 million).
The clubs’ earnings from Uefa club competitions will be withheld or used to pay these fines.
