Many European sports media, including Agence France-Presse and Reuters, are vying to report that the greater Paris deficit is as high as $235.5 million (about 224.3 million euros).
The main loss in Paris is due to soaring wages, with the team's current total salary reaching €503 million – a 21 percent increase from the previous statistical period and almost the same as the sum of 14 Ligue 1 teams.
Coupled with the impact of the epidemic on box office revenues, tv broadcast fees (league + Champions League) have not increased much, so the loss of Greater Paris has increased by 80% compared with the previous financial stage.
Even if it is rich, such a large loss will still create some trouble for Paris. In particular, although UEFA's FFP is suspected of being "useless" in front of the chaebols, the officials and bigwigs still want face, and they will definitely exert some pressure to impose some constraints on the future expansion of armaments in Greater Paris.
Therefore, the French media revealed that the interior of Greater Paris, as well as the French media, are also summarizing this. In the process of liquidation responsibility, the Greater Paris transfer group has been under greater pressure, and the "Inter Milan- Paris" trading channel may also be forced to close.
French media commentary: Due to the impact of the epidemic, financial considerations and pressure from UEFA, paris's net investment in the transfer market in the past two seasons has totalled only 140 million euros, or even less than 1/3 of a summer in 2018 (the so-called "four hundred million arrogance"). 90% of that money went to Inter Milan, but it's clear that neither of the two blockbuster acquisitions was particularly successful.
Two summers earlier, Paris had brought in Icardi and Ashraf from Inter, and according to the Milan Sports Newspaper, the mandatory part of the two transfers, plus the floating fee that is easier to trigger, is expected to be around 130 million euros.
In fact, in these two seasons, although Paris has introduced more reinforcements in the ball market, most of them are on loan (such as Moise Keane) or visa-free (such as Messi, Donnarumma), and the actual transfer fee is not much. Most of the cash was smashed into Inter Milan.
Icardi's situation in Paris was deteriorating, and the various off-site farces that he and his agent's wife constantly played out of Paris annoyed Paris. At present, Paris has the intention of cleaning Icardi, and at the same time, how much money to stop the loss, but the difficulty is not small.
Ashraf's situation is relatively better.
After the Moroccan joined Paris this season, scoring 4 goals and assisting 6 times in 29 Ligue 1 games can be said to be a repeated achievement.
However, the French media still has a lot of criticism of Ashraf, mainly because the flying wing Champions League 8 games 0 goals and 0 assists, and some of the defensive performance is not satisfactory - it should be noted that the salary of Greater Paris is the sum of 13-4 teams in Ligue 1, so the fan media and executives do not value the league results and data, they pay more attention to the Champions League performance, which is the direction of Ashraf's future efforts.
In short, the French media pointed out: "After two unsuccessful reinforcements, the introduction of Inter players in Paris in the future should be more cautious." This means that the talent channel of "Inter-Paris", which has been opened for two consecutive years, is unlikely to reopen again this summer.
In the past six months, Paris has had a scandal with some Inter players, such as Barrera and so on.
Italian media also pointed out that in view of Inter's financial situation, the Nerazzurri is not excluded from continuing to do business with Paris in the future.
Because one of the characteristics of the transfer fee of Greater Paris is the fast payment - in the era when most teams in Europe, especially the poor in Serie A, are accustomed to paying the transfer fee in multi-year installments, the high-proportion down payment + short payment cycle of the Greater Paris is very helpful for teams with insufficient cash flow such as the Nerazzurri.
But for now, it is difficult to say whether Inter will have another deal with Paris this summer.
Many experts point out that it is unreasonable to blame Inter for a huge deficit in Paris.
Because of the huge deficit in Paris, it is more due to the soaring wages caused by the visa exemption. Players like Ashraf can not be regarded as a failed transaction, he has many highlights in the "first year" after joining Paris, and there is a lot of potential to be tapped after the future run-in is deeper.
But obviously such a voice cannot change the direction of the entire public opinion circle. Because there are some things, a negative example, the impact is too bad. In Paris, there are too many fans of expert celebrities who don't like Icardi – to be precise , who hate Wanda Nala. The former Serie A Golden Boot was assessed as the most failed candidate for Paris in years, and had a great impact on the direction of public opinion.
This also creates new problems for Inter.
In the past two years, some of Inter's players who have transferred at high prices - such as Icardi and Lukaku , have not been convincing in their performance in the new owners after the transfer, which may make some potential buyers worry about "Inter's production, not boutique" in the near future, thus increasing the difficulty of Inter selling players at good prices in the future.
The problem of word of mouth in the ball market, Inter needs to face.
