Financial Fair Play was brought in to control spending, among other things, so how are PSG in a position to obliterate the transfer record?
SPECIAL REPORT
While Gerard Pique's "gut feeling" is that Barcelona team-mate Neymar will remain in Catalunya, the Brazilian's reluctance to comment on the issue means that a world-record transfer to Paris Saint-Germain cannot be ruled out this summer.
The forward is, of course, under contract to the Blaugrana until 2021 but he has a buy-out clause of €222 million and, remarkably, PSG are willing to pay it.
