The consecutive defeats in the Champions League made PSG even more ambitious to conquer this arena. Most recently, they are ready to “break the safe” to spend 200 million euros to recruit Erling Haaland to pair with Kylian Mbappe.

In the context that Messi is not committed to the future and Neymar is constantly injured, PSG is planning to recruit a top-class striker to partner with Mbappe next season.

The person targeted is none other than Haaland, a young striker who is playing sublimely in a Man City shirt with 28 goals in his first season in the Premier League.

According to RMC Sport, the owners of Qatar are very hungry for the Champions League title and are ready to spend 200 million euros to recruit Haaland. This fee is equivalent to the contract release value of the Norwegian striker.

Although Haaland is booming at the Etihad Stadium, PSG hopes to convince the striker with a “huge” salary. Accordingly, the French team can pay Haaland much higher than the £ 375,000/week he is receiving at the Blue Man.

Previously, PSG bought Neymar from Barca for 222 million euros, so wanting to own Haaland with 200 million euros is not out of their reach.

According to statistics, in the past 10 years since the 2012/13 season, the Qatar Investment Fund (QIA) has spent 1,446 billion euros (more than 35 trillion VND) to help PSG strengthen its forces. On average, this figure is 144.6 million euros/season.

However, what the Park team of the Princes gained in the Champions League was just a round zero, with a continuous stop in the knockout round. PSG used to be very close to this noble title in the 2019/20 season, but suffered a 0-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the final.
