The organisation will look into how PSG have financed the deal

However, they will not do so before time, a statement revealed

UEFA will analyse the details of Neymar's world record move to Paris Saint-Germain but not before the deal is completed and not outside the context of the French club's other business.  

A statement said: "All clubs in Europe must respect financial fair-play rules and must demonstrate that they do not have losses of more than 30m euros over three years.

 

"As part of the continuous monitoring of clubs under financial fair play regulations, UEFA will look into the details of this transfer in due course to ensure PSG are compliant with FFP requirements.

 

"The transfer of Neymar to PSG will have an effect on the club finances over several years but the impact of such an operation cannot be judged in advance, notably as PSG could well sell several players for a significant amount.

 

"We shall therefore only make calculations at the end and make sure that they respect the rules."

As for LFP president Javier Tebas and Barça's threats to 'report' PSG to UEFA -- an option which is not strictly available -- the European governing body said they "have not received complaints from anyone regarding this matter."
