The departure of Lionel messi to PSG makes a lot of ink flow FC Barcelona. The Catalan club tried to keep their Argentine star, but the financial problems were too great. Ultimately, the Pulga joined the PSG. But the validity of this operation is contested by Juan Branco. French lawyer, he lodged a complaint with the European Commission in order to contest the arrival of Messi to PSG.

Juan Branco appeals to Joan Laporta

” The situation we witnessed, astonished, was the following: FC Barcelona was forced by the control commission of the Spanish league to part ways with Lionel Messi. At the same time, PSG have been authorized by the French League to build a golden bridge for the player. How did we come to such a situation? The explanation was found very quickly. Today, French clubs are exempt from penalties for violating FPF rules. This exemption, adopted by the French championship in 2019, will apply until the end of the 2022-2023 season, creating a distortion of competition with other European clubs from which PSG benefits. Likewise, while the French club foresees losses that could reach 500 million euros next season, it continues to recruit the best players on the continent, dropped by bloodless clubs, unable to change the wage inflation caused by PSG . The reason for such an aberration, incompatible with European regulations, which impose identical standards in each territory of the internal market of the European Union, is above all political. Qatar, owner of PSG, needs to build a club-flag which legitimizes the organization of the 2022 World Cup on its territory. Money flows from Qatar, accompanying those from the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the Russian oligarchs, have created a massive competitive distortion in European football that threatens the survival of historic clubs, especially nonprofits like is the FC. Barcelona. We are faced with a situation which threatens not only the survival of FC Barcelona as an institution, but more generally of other historic European clubs, especially Spanish and Italian. It is in this context, and with the conviction that the Barcelona social mass expects a strong gesture from the Board of Directors, not to recover Lionel Messi, but to show its interest in defending FC Barcelona as a heritage of partners. We ask the board of directors to join our offensive and to enter into an open war at the institutional level against the unacceptable distortions of competition which it suffers, with the support of the clubs which have shown their contempt for the recent offensive of the Parisian club. Blocking the most scandalous and high-profile signing of the business football era appears to be the last way to force our competitors to sit down at the negotiating table, and to break a spiral in which the supporters are the first victims. »We can read.
