PSG plan move for Liverpool star as part of £85m summer spending spree

PSG’s Qatari owner has promised similar investment every year, until the French side have become the biggest club in Europe.

The club’s owner have also confirmed PSG’s interest in signing Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.

Billionaire Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the chairman of Qatar Sports Investment, said: “We are already looking at the market for next season.

“We have clear targets in mind. It is true that we want Luis Suarez and [Real Madrid striker] Gonzalo Higuain.

“Our real short-term targets are to win the Champions League and find a new Lionel Messi.”

PSG plan to spend €100million a year for the next “five or six years”.

“We will spend what is normal for a top-class club,” he continued. “We prefer to invest a lot and immediately.

“In the next five or six years, we still spend this amount. Then the investments will slow.”
