PSG escape punishment as LFP gives Lille transfer ban

Paris Saint-Germain will not face any action over the club's heavy investments in the transfer market, the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) has confirmed.

PSG made Neymar the most expensive player in football history when the Brazilian was brought in from Barcelona for €222million, while Kylian Mbappe also arrived on loan from Ligue 1 champions Monaco during the last transfer window in a move that will be made permanent for another hefty fee.

The LFP decided PSG – bankrolled by Qatar Sports Investments – had not broken any financial restrictions despite their lavish spending, while Monaco and Metz also escaped punishment.
