PSG: the incredible amount of money Messi has cashed in one season

A little more than a year ago, PSG achieved the feat of offering itself the Argentine legend Lionel Messi. Which the club must not regret today.

In August 2021, PSG had a move that few clubs have made in the history of the transfer market.

While Barça failed to extend Lionel Messi, the capital’s club has attracted Argentinian legend by closing the deal in a few days. An arrival necessarily carries great hopes among Parisian fans.

These hopes were somewhat dampened by some performances during its first season in Paris.

But Messi, after a difficult adaptation, regains momentum and seems to be back on track to an XXL level.

For its part, the club of the capital has not waited to rub hands, and can already rejoice in the huge financial impact of the arrival of the Argentine star.

700 million for PSG thanks to Messi?

Indeed, the Argentinian media El Economista estimates that PSG revenues would have increased by 700 million euros thanks to the arrival of the Pulga!

In a nutshell, the Argentinian media highlights the arrival of 10 new sponsors with an increase in annual contracts, the explosion of the sale of jerseys with 60% of the tunics sold that would be sold in Messi’s name.

Finally, his visit to Paris allowed PSG to gain 15 million followers on all its social networks, with the obvious gains that this entails.

Before even shining on the pitch, Messi brought an unprecedented relief to the club’s finances, which is far from trivial.
