Paris Saint-Germain
is going through a stage of changes compared to another season in which the goal of obtaining the Champions League was truncated and the discontent of the Parisian "ultras" and former French players from the capital against the main figures of the team
Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar
.
But also, everything indicates that the future of the club that is owned by the
Sovereign Investment Fund of Qatar
will not be as prosperous as in other times since it presents an unprecedented drain of money since its arrival in 2011.
According to
the report submitted by the DNCG
(Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion), the body in charge of supervising the accounts of French teams,
PSG had a deficit of 368 million euros
last season.
In this context, the Spanish sports newspaper Marca reported that the DNCG presented last season's balance sheets and, as expected, the club from the French capital accumulated unprecedented losses compared to recent years.
The balance of Paris Saint-Germain.
The deficit
is the worst accounting year in the history of French football
, precisely exceeding the
224 million
that PSG accumulated in 2020/2021.
The contracts of Messi
, the Spanish
Sergio Ramos
, the Italian
Gianluigi Donnarumma
and the Moroccan
Achraf Hakimi
, together with the extensive squad, had a direct impact on the wage bill, which reached a historic figure of 729 million.
During the past season, which runs from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022,
PSG paid 181 million euros in purchases
, including the 35 they had to pay Monaco for the renewal of Kylian Mbappé , in a variable contemplated in the sale of the striker in 2017.

To this we must
add the 39 million that he paid as fees to agents and intermediaries
, the highest figure in all of French football and that, to put it into perspective, Marseille, his great persecutor, spent nine and Monaco, one of the great entertainers of the market, 10.
PSG blames the increase in the deficit on the coronavirus pandemic and the pause in soccer activity that the Executive decreed a month after, in 2020, the outbreak of the virus.
The 368 million losses are, without a doubt, the worst accounting exercise in the history of French football for the second consecutive year, precisely exceeding the 224 million that PSG accumulated in 2020/2021.
