New trouble for Paris Saint-Germain, which has come under the microscope of French judicial authorities for allegedly lobbying France Football for Messi to win the 2021 Ballon d’Or.

The year Robert Lewandowski stormed into a Bayern Munich shirt, everyone was sure the Bavarians’ top Polish goalscorer would win the Ballon d’Or for the first time in his career. And yet the final choice was Lionel Messi (then for the 7th time, after this year’s 8th followed) a fact that caused a lot of discussion.

It’s just that the issue came back to the fore in a very bad way for Paris Saint-Germain, who were not only confronted by the authorities for possible tax evasion in the much-vaunted transfer of Neymar in 2017, already according to what they complain various French media, she is allegedly involved unfairly in the process of promoting Lionel Messi as the best player in 2021!

According to “Le Monde” and “Mediapart”, Paris seems to be being investigated by the Police for pressure and suspicious gifts to “France Football”, responsible for organizing the Ballon d’Or, so that the award ends up in the arms of the Argentine.

In particular, from the first moment that Messi set foot in Paris, the leaders of Paris tried to strengthen their relationship with the French magazine and especially with the president Pascal Feret, with the aim of creating a “lobby” that would promote the 36. -year-old star.

In return, Ferre was employed for a few months as Paris’ communications officer, received tickets for many matches at the Parc des Princes, but also business class flight tickets amounting to nine thousand euros.

For his part, however, Ferre and his entourage denied any attempt to promote Lionel Messi at the expense of other candidates to win the Ballon d’Or, and he even pointed out that in 2021 he voted for Robert Lewandowski as the best player . A vote, however, that was not enough, as the Argentine managed to leave Pole in second place and win the 7th Ballon d’Or of his career.
