UEFA To Re-Examine Investigation Into PSG's Finances

UEFA will re-examine an investigation into Paris St. Germain's finances which was closed last month, according to the AP. UEFA said that judges on its club finance monitoring panel will "review a decision by investigators" that PSG's accounts through June '17 complied with "Financial Fair Play" rules. The review "adds pressure" on the French champion, which UEFA asked last month to "raise cash selling players" before its latest financial year closed last weekend. PSG sold midfielder Javier Pastore to AS Roma last week for €24.5M ($28.6M) to "help balance accounts made lopsided" by the world-record deal to buy Neymar from Barcelona last August (AP, 7/3). GOAL's Jamie Smith reported on Tuesday, UEFA said that the Club Financial Control Body chair opted to "send this decision for review by the adjudicatory chamber." UEFA added, "This announcement does not pre-judge in any way the result of the review to be conducted by the adjudicatory chamber of the CFCB" (GOAL, 7/3).
