Barcelona fans in tears while a party is getting started in Paris. Supporters of Paris Saint-Germain started their celebration as the best in the world, Lionel Messi, is arriving. And now, with him in it, the formation of the Parisian giant should have no equal in the years to come.Messi is in Paris! PSG’s new player checks in for the medicalTrue, after signing Messi – and not only him – the Saints will have to sell it in bulk. They made a promise to the financial authorities an income of 211 million USD on transfers, and this summer they sold for only 8 million, which was the cost of Mitchel Bakker’s departure to Bayer Leverkusen. They took another 2.3 million USD from Alphonso Areola’s loan to West Ham.On the other hand, sports director Leonardo managed to bring in the captain of Barcelona (Messi), the captain of Real Madrid (Sergio Ramos), the captain of the Netherlands (Giorginio Wijnaldum) and the best player of the EURO 2020 (Gianluigi Donnarumma), all for free.Salaries, however, are a different story. According to media reports, Messi himself will receive a net salary of 41 million USD per season, including bonuses. Fixed part of the salary – 29 million USD.3 – Paris’ new forward trio 🇦🇷🇫🇷🇧🇷 in Champions League :- 155 goals involvements for Messi (120 goals, 35 assists) in 149 games- 67 for Neymar (41 goals, 26 assists) in 69 games- 43 for Mbappé (27 goals, 16 assists) in 45 gamesBeware⚠️#UCL pic.twitter.com/IkbXrksHS0— OptaJean (@OptaJean) August 10, 2021 Donnarumma previously agreed on 14 million USD per season, as much as Sergio Ramos, and because of the Spaniard – Thilo Kerrer will lose his spot in the back line. Wijnaldum was satisfied with a modest amount of 5.2 million USD a year net. PSG paid 70 million USD for Achraf Hakimi – the Moroccan will earn 9.3 million USD a year on a fixed basis, plus 2.3 million in the name of bonuses.So, only the salaries of summer signings will eat up a minimum of 72 million USD in a year. If all bonuses are activated, the tally climbs to 80 million USD. And that is all without Neymar and Mbappe.All together, the first team of Paris Saint-Germain, consisting of Donnarumma – Kurzawa, Marquinhos, Ramos, Hakimi – Wijnaldum, Veratti – Di Maria, Messi, Neymar – Mbappe, cost the Qatari owner 695 million USD!As far as those who will most probably sit on the bench (Mauro Icardi, Keylor Navas, Sergio Rico, Abdou Diallo, Julian Draxler, Pablo Sarabia, Leandro Paredes, Idrisa Gueye, Thilo Kehrer, Rafinha, Juan Bernat, Danilo Pereira) – value of the group is staggering 368 million USD!This dream PSG side is about to become a reality 😱 pic.twitter.com/VdXH8qX1yW— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) August 10, 2021 Of all those listed, except Messi, Ramos, Donnarumma and Wijnaldum, the club did not pay for the transfer of Ander Herrera (arrived as a free agent) and two products of the academy: Presnel Kimpembe and Colin Dagba.It is clear that many will have to leave, because such a team destroys all UEFA’s aspirations for football to remain more or less an equal game. And it is no wonder that in Spain, Barcelona and Real are protesting because PSG used the pandemic caused by the corona crisis to find loop-holes in the rules of financial fair play.Although, Real and Barça would do the same, if they could… The time has come for Paris to rejoice.COMPENSATION PAID BY PSG FOR PLAYERS(in dollars)Neymar 260,000,000Kylian Mbappe 210,000,000Julian Draxler 76,000,000Angel Di Maria 73,000,000Achraf Hakimi 70,000,000Mauro Icardi 58,000,000Leandro Paredes 47,000,000Thilo Kehrer 43,000,000Abdou Diallo 37,500,000Marquinhos 36,700,000Idrisa Gueye 35,000,000Layvin Kurzawa 29,000,000Pablo Sarabia 21,000,000Danilo Pereira 18,500,000Keylor Navas 17,500,000Marco Veratti 14,000,000Sergio Rico 7,000,000Juan Bernat 5,800,000Rafinha 1,700,000Arrived without compensation: Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Giorginio Wijnaldum, Presnel Kimpembe, Colin DagbaPLAYERS BY POSITIONSGoalkeepers: Donnarumma, Navas, RicoRight backs: Hakimi, DagbaStoppers: Ramos, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, KehrerLeft backs: Kurzawa, Diallo, BernatCentre and defensive midfielders: Veratti, Wijnaldum, Paredes, Gueye, Herrera, DaniloOffensive midfielders and wingers: Messi, Neymar, Di Maria, Draxler, Sarabia, RafinhaForwards: Mbappe, Icardi
