Clubs need some rules to stick to, but PSR is making it very complex. “The system is forcing the clubs to sell their academy players, this is the way to get more profit and be able to stick to the rules, and I think this is killing some spirit of football. “It’s something that is not natural in football, something that is breaking the cycle, affecting the inflation of the salary of the players, how the club want to build squads and also forcing clubs to do deals that are not natural in the market. “To get the best deals you need time, and PSR is not helping the clubs.
