One of the factors that makes the level different between Paris Saint Germain and other teams in Ligue 1 is the financial condition. Paris Saint Germain can be very free to get the players they want, even though they have to get them at a very fantastic price, while other teams cannot have it. Even other teams have to sell players who play well to get a profit, that is a very striking difference. It is undeniable that money has an influence on a team, therefore football and business cannot be separated and must go hand in hand. I think this will continue to happen when there is no change experienced by other teams, such as another team being acquired by a prince.
And I am quite surprised by the finances they have, they can survive so long that they are able to dominate the French League for quite a long time. Even if you think about it, they have made several player transfers with high prices and salaries, but they release players at low prices, and more than that they also often release players without getting any financial compensation. and an example is di Maria who was bought from Manchester United in 2015 for €63 million, Di Maria moved to Juventus for free in 2022 after his contract with PSG was not extended.
PSG often sells its players at a loss, and then they bring in new, better players at fantastic prices. Their finances are very strong, the Middle Eastern sultans are indeed extraordinary, the investments they make in football are beyond doubt, like clubs in the Arab league who always bring in players with high prices and salaries.
Their owners are one of the reasons, if we compare it with what is happening now in the Saudi pro league for example, they also bring in players with very high prices and also high salaries, this is a picture that the financial power of the Arab kings is indeed strong, including the current owner of Paris Saint Germain. This is an advantage that the Arab princes have, whether because if you think about it, it is a difficult thing to do. However, their business owners know what the next steps are, so their financial management is very good, even though they spend a lot of money, it does not have much effect on their finances.
