Dortmund CEO Watzke says PSG signing Messi is ‘unfair’
PSG
unveiled
Messi
on
Wednesday
(August
11)
following
his
free
transfer
move
from
Barcelona
on
a
bumper
two-year
deal.
Watzke,
who
has
had
to
ward
off
strong
interest
in
Dortmund’s
prized
asset
Erling
Haaland
this
off-season,
said
Qatari-owned
PSG’s
economic
position
was
unfair.
“It
is
a
fact
that
PSG
has
more
economic
resources
than
85
per
cent
of
other
European
teams,”
Watzke
said
as
reported
by
L’Equipe.
“It
is
clear
that
this
is
an
unfair
competition
that
has
already
been
rife
for
too
long
but
I
am
by
no
means
jealous.
“Frankly,
it
wouldn’t
be
my
cup
of
tea
to
have
to
kneel
down
every
fourth
morning
in
front
of
the
Emir
of
Qatar.”
PSG
have
signed
Messi
along
with
Georginio
Wijnaldum,
Sergio
Ramos
and
Gianluigi
Donnarumma
on
free
transfers
this
off-season,
bumping
up
their
player
wages.
The
Parisians
also
spent
€60million
to
sign
Internazionale
full-back
Achraf
Hakimi,
having
purchased
Mauro
Icardi
for
the
Nerazzurri
12
months
ago
for
€50m.
