PSG owners planning to buy club in La Liga and overshadow Barcelona - Reports

By Vatsal Vora Modified 29 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share PSG and Barcelona are seemingly rivals to one another. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) owners are interested in buying FC Barcelona's city-rivals RCD Espanyol, according to Foot en Espagne (via Barca Universal). The aim of the Parisian giants is to topple Barcelona as the biggest club in Spain's second-largest city. Tensions between the two of Europe's elite clubs have increased in the last few years. It all began when the Ligue 1 outfit signed Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr. in a world-record deal worth around €222 million in 2017. The Catalan giants also saw their icon Lionel Messi leave to join Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer last year. In more recent times, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has questioned Barcelona's finances and their big spending in the summer transfer window. Tensions between the two clubs could escalate even further. The Parisian owners are interested in buying a club in La Liga and are already playing to purchase RCD Espanyol.

Diego Martínez's side are currently on a two-match losing run in the league. Espanyol finished 14th in the league last time around. They were relegated from Spain's top flight back during the 2019-20 season after finishing rock bottom. However, they managed to secure the promotion at the first time of asking.
