Socios of FC Barcelona do not want to see their idol, Lionel Messi evolve in the ranks of the club of the French capital. They decided to file a complaint with the European Commission so that PSG is not authorized to recruit the yet free from any contract. These Catalan supporters assure that the Parisian club does not respect the rules of financial fair play.
After a long soap opera, Lionel Messi will no longer wear the FC Barcelona jersey. The Argentinian star, who was out of contract with the club, said his farewell on Sunday August 8, 2021 at the Camp Nou in a moving press conference. Inconsolable, Catalan socios mourn their idol. A start that is all the more heartbreaking than the six-time Ballon D’Or is strongly expected to join PSG.
Anyway, “this prospect of seeing Messi wearing the jersey of Paris Saint-Germain, a club that has had a big rivalry with Barça since the remountada, is inconceivable for a group of socios who have taken legal steps to try to derail the deal ”, learned camerounactuonline.com from RMC Sport.
A group of socios of the Catalan club, represented by the French Juan Branco, intends to prevent the club of the capital from recruiting the number 10. The Franco-Spanish lawyer, known for his defense of yellow vests activists, announced on his Twitter account its desire to seize the European Commission and to file requests for provisional suspension before the civil and administrative courts in France to prevent the arrival of the Pulga. He joins forces with socios, the groups of participatory supporters of the Catalan club. They denounce PSG’s non-compliance with UEFA’s “financial fair play”.
“On behalf of the FC Barcelona socios, my cabinet has prepared a plant with the European Commission and requests provisional suspensions before the civil and administrative courts in France in the event that Paris Saint-Germain recruited Lionel Messi. In terms of “financial fair play”, the ratios of PSG are worse than those of FC Barcelona. For the 2019-2020 season, the ration between salaries and income of PSG was 99% while that of FC Barcelona was 54%. In the meantime, the difference has increased. It is inconceivable that “financial fair play” could serve to aggravate the excesses of football business, the instrumentalization of football by sovereign powers and the excesses of competitions. We will ask the authorities to intervene immediately to block this operation, “the lawyer said through his Twitter account.
