After barring Milan from the Europa League, UEFA have announced that they will review the decision to close an investigation into Paris Saint-Germain.
Last summer the French club spent €222m to activate Neymar’s Barcelona release clause, and committed to paying €180m for Monaco’s Kylian Mbappé, who arrived on an initial loan.
That sparked a Financial Fair Play investigation, but it was closed last month with no charges brought.
After barring Milan from the Europa League, UEFA have announced that they will review the decision to close an investigation into Paris Saint-Germain.

That sparked a Financial Fair Play investigation, but it was closed last month with no charges brought.
That proved to be controversial, with Rossoneri CEO Marco Fassone appearing to reference the decision yesterday when he stated “what is surprising is Milan being excluded from Europe, which is different with regard to the others”.
Now European football’s governing body has confirmed they will review the decision to close the investigation.
“In light of the recent decision of the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) Chief Investigator to close the investigation into Paris Saint-Germain – which commenced on 1 September 2017 – the Chairman of the CFCB has decided to send this decision for review by the Adjudicatory Chamber,” a UEFA statement reads.
“This announcement does not pre-judge in any way the result of the review to be conducted by the Adjudicatory Chamber of the CFCB.”
PSG immediately hit back with a statement of their own.
“The club has been informed of the Adjudicatory Chamber of the CFCB’s request to review the decision taken by its chamber of investigation on June 13th 2018 to close the investigation.
“The club outlines that it has succesfully carried out an important number of transfers in recent days in compliance with the CFBC’s decision and that it will continue, as it has done since September 1st 2017, to provide all information requested by the CFCB and UEFA.”
