Some very interesting comments from Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc that the French champions are unlikely to make any signings in this transfer window due to UEFA’s financial fair play sanctions. PSG, along with Premier League winners Manchester City, were punished when UEFA issued its first wave of FFP punishments last summer. And while Citu […]

French Ligue 1 champions Paris St Germain strolled to a 2-0 victory over Guingamp in the Trophee des Champions in Beijing on Saturday. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored both goals inside the first 20 minutes, one of them a penalty, and after Guingamp had missed a spot-kick of their own, there was little more to trouble the […]
I happen to think that there is more than a grain of truth to Zlatan Ibrahimovic comments that “jealous” rival European clubs put pressure on UEFA to use financial fair play to hold back Paris Saint-Germain. Ibra helped set a new points total in Ligue 1 last season and they were just a late Demba […]
Whether it was a result of Uefa’s Financial Fair Play penalties that restricted them to one major signing this summer, or whether they just really love him as a player, but at £50m, PSG massively over paid for the Brazilian defender.

After a goalless first half in Manchester the match and […]
A tantalizing piece in the French newspapers Le Parisien that David Beckham has approached Paris St. Germain owners to help with funding for his new MLS expansion team, which is expected to begin play in 2017 Beckham finished his career at PSG, and is reported to be on very good terms with the teams owners, Qatar […]
Two goals from Edinson Cavani was enough to knock holders Saint-Etienne out of the French Cup last night, as PSG prevailed 2-1 in extra-time in their Last 16 clash. Cavani has been one of the signings of the summer, scoring 18 times in 23 games for PSG this season, gave the French champions the lead […]
What Financial Fair Play rules? That seems to be the response that Paris Saint-Germain, AS Monaco and Manchester City are giving to the impending FFP regulations as all three sides continues to spend heavily in this transfer window. On Thursday, Manchester City agreed to buy a Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetic for £25.8 m and Sevilla’s […]
