PSG are planning a firesale of up to 10 players as they seek to balance the books, according to reports.

The French club completed the signing of Lionel Messi on Tuesday, handing the Argentina international a two-year deal.

They have also signed Sergio Ramos, Georginio Wijnaldum and Gigio Donnarumma on free transfers this summer, while Achraf Hakimi cost around £50m.

All four of the above players will command hefty salaries, while Messi's take-home pay is said to be north of £600,000 per week.

PSG are now looking to raise some funds to ensure they comply with UEFA's Financial Fair Play Regulations, according to The Athletic.

Icardi's minutes might be limited by the arrival of Messi, although the 34-year-old is unlikely to play every match in Ligue 1.
