Paris Saint-Germain has closed the summer transfer window as the double European champion and with a record in player sales. The Parisian club generated €334 million in revenue while remaining a major investor with €152 million spent on purchases, according to the review published this week by L'Équipe Football.
How did Paris Saint-Germain balance its books?
Paris Saint-Germain's activity during this transfer period illustrates a mature financial strategy. The record sales of €334 million largely offset the spending committed to strengthen the squad, which amounts to €152 million. This approach contrasts with that of other French clubs, such as Paris FC, whose heavy investments were compared by L'Équipe to "a nouveau riche behavior reminiscent of that adopted by its Parisian neighbor upon the arrival of QSI in the 2010s." The sports paper thus highlights the evolution of the capital's club since its takeover.
What is the club's current sporting context?
This economic success comes as Paris Saint-Germain approaches the season with the status of double Champions League title holder. Portuguese midfielder João Neves is currently sidelined, an absence that impacts the manager's tactical options. You can check the full injury list on our injuries page.

Where does Paris Saint-Germain stand in the Ligue 1 landscape?

"Today double European champion, Paris Saint-Germain has recorded record sales (334 million euros) and remains a big investor (152 million euros in player purchases)", summarizes the media.
