The coronavirus crisis has caused financial problems for many clubs and PSG could also be affected this summer. Their main sponsor, Accor, announced that they may not pay their second annual installment if football does not resume soon, 'Le Parisien' says.
The hotel chain has a one year contract with the club for 65 miliion euros paid in two installments. The first installment has already been paid. The second, which sees Accor pay PSG 30 million euros, must be handed over by 1st July. But Accor have warned the French club that they will not give them the money if football has not resumed by then.
"We sponsors cannot pay the agreed sums if we aren't getting the visibility," Sebastien Bazin, a spokesman for the hotel chain told 'BFM TV'.
"To satisfy the second installment, we need the competition to have resumed. Otherwise, it will almost certainly not be paid," Bazin insisted. That would be a big blow for PSG.
Nevertheless, UEFA's predictions are that the domestic tournament will have resumed by then. They have readjusted the calendar so that the domestic leagues can be finished in the summer.
