Paris Saint-Germain to record a deficit of 40 million Euros – Ligue 1 news
if on the field, the results of Paris Saint-Germain have been phenomenal, they are somewhat debatable in the financial sector.
League leaders and on course to make it to the last 16 of this season’s UEFA Europa League, Paris Saint-Germain are in command of things on the footballing field. Except from that slight blip when they lost in the pre-quarterfinals of the Coupe de la Ligue
at the hands of Dijon, Antoine Kombouare’s men have been winning games at free will.
Though they are far from attractive, the PSG side has been terribly effective and have achieved results despite the influx of so many new players in this summer’s transfer window. However, the success on the field is certainly not complimented by the financial
figures of the capital club.
Le Parisien published on its issue a projection of the Parisian accounts at the end of the fiscal year 2011/2012/. Obviously, there will be a deficit of over 40 million Euros. However, this loss can be aptly explained by the recent heavy investment made
by the club during the summer transfer window.
The Ile club spent nearly 89 million Euros on new players of which 42 million were spent on bringing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082 to the Parc des Princes from Italian Serie A side Palermo.
However, not fazed by such a deficit prediction, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Qatar-c2986 Investment Authority has reportedly sanctioned 100 million Euros for investment in the upcoming winter transfer window. The Qatari owners are now expecting to reap rewards for their heavy investment
over the medium term.
Furthermore, the trajectory of the football team is not expected to suffer any setback by the end of this campaign. The merchandising of PSG goods is expected to grow exponentially in the coming months. The much-awaited arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432 (if it does
happen), will certainly promote the club’s brand and shirt sales are expected to increase if Beckham joins the cash-laden side.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 currently leading the race in terms of shirt sales, PSG are now looking to leapfrog them in the coming months as they seek to rub shoulders with some of the best football teams in Europe.
