If this Neymar thing happens, and I'll admit it appears more and more likely, PSG are going to be in FFP Hell.
Quote:
The ESPN FC source indicated that the biggest remaining question is no longer whether or not Neymar is willing to swap Camp Nou for Parc des Princes but how the capital outfit finance what would be a world-record fee.
PSG's transfer budget at the start of the summer was €220m, all within the framework of UEFA's financial fair play (FFP) rules.
According to the source, a number of methods to complete the Neymar deal are being considered, with almost all of them concerning third parties -- notably player and club sponsors Nike. The club know that when they make their move, they must meet the player's release clause.

And they're apparently also still trying to sign Alexis Sanchez who wants something like £300K/week.
They are banking hard on this.
