Ander Herrera Doubts PSG Can Get Lionel Messi Without Breaking FFP

JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) midfielder Ander Herrera doubts his club can bring in Lionel Messi from Barcelona. The reason is the Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.

The six Ballon d'Or winner's contract will soon expire at the Camp Nou, which could make him a free transfer player at the end of this season.

PSG is one of the few clubs that can meet the Argentine's wage demands, but Herrera doubts that his club can make a deal with Messi while complying with financial management regulations.

“Messi, Neymar and Mbappe together? I don't know how it will work out with Financial Fair Play, but I don't think so, "Herrera told El Larguero as quoted by Antara, Tuesday.

"I respect Barcelona, ​​their coach and Messi, so I'm not going to discuss this one."

The Spanish midfielder added that team-mates like Angel Di Maria and Marco Verratti have angered Barca by openly discussing the club's interest in Messi.

"When everyone at Barca talks about Neymar, inside and outside the club, we don't like him."

"This is not my strategy, I will not talk about it. I respect those who do, but I put myself in the position of the club where Messi is growing. "

“If I were at Barca, I wouldn't like people talking about Messi. For me it doesn't mean a lack of respect, but I wouldn't, "said the former Manchester United player.
