UEFA are reinvestigating whether PSG have broken rules designed to prevent over-spending.
It’s the second time UEFA have looked into it after their Club Financial Control Board closed an investigation in June, saying the club had managed to comply rules in 2015, 2016 and 2017
PSG have appealed to sport’s highest court – the Court of Arbitration for Sport – after UEFA changed their mind with the most severest of punishments being booted out the Champions League.
It’s now left PSG fearing heavy punishments so they aren’t going to move for Ramsey, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
“Ramsey was definitely someone PSG considered in the approach to the January transfer window,” Ligue 1 expert Jonathan Johnson told the Transfer Talk podcast.
“However, it’s my understanding that Ramsey is now closer to Juevntus than anyone else. PSG never really wanted to take those talks seriously.
“The issue PSG have, at this moment in time, is there’s so much up in the air for them in terms of Financial Fair Play.
“They are waiting to hear back from the Court of Arbitration for Sport about where their appeal for UEFA stands.
“Of course, UEFA still have to finish their investigation into FFP so a lot hinges on the Court of Arbitration for Sport at this moment in time.
“PSG are faced with a conundrum this January. They need midfield reinforcements.
“Thomas Tuchel wants midfield reinforcements and they are faced with either trying to bring someone in from the bargain basement or look towards next summer with the possibility of spending big and really strengthening in terms of quality reinforcements.
“PSG’s main targets in midfield in the medium to long-term future is Frenkie de Jong from Ajax.
“Ramsey was one of those names that he considered however, the costs associated with bringing a player from the Premier League were deemed too high.
“PSG haven’t really followed through in their interest. At this moment in times, it sounds like Ramsey is closer to Juventus than anyone else.”
