Paris Saint-Germain’s president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, has sent out a warning that is widely being interpreted as singling out FC Barcelona about the dangers of high debt and cash injections.
Without mentioning Barcelona by name, Al-Khelaifi said: “The rules serve to control costs and encourage investment. You have to be careful with dangerous levels of debt. Injecting capital magically is not a path that is sustainable. You have to think long term, not short term.”
Barcelona’s high debt has been frequently discussed, as well as the fact that they sold assets to bring in cash to buy players over the past summer.
