Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said it will become increasingly difficult to respect FFP rules after Neymar's world record transfer. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has criticised Neymar's world record transfer move from Barcelona to Paris St Germain, saying it will become increasingly difficult to respect financial fair play (FFP) rules when "a country owns a football club". PSG, backed by majority shareholder Qatar Sports Investments, signed the Brazil striker on a five-year deal on Thursday after they triggered his 222 million euros ($263.82 million) release clause. Neymar's transfer more than doubled the previous world record fee Manchester United paid for Paul Pogba when they paid Juventus 105 million euros for the midfielder last August. We crossed the 100 million euros line last year and, only one year later, we're crossing the 200 million line", the Frenchman added.
