I think this can work in Barca's favor by forcing them to address their issues. Depth and youth. Even Xavi expressed disappointment with La Masia yesterday.
The big impact the move has is that it's a win for all oil money/oligarch clubs to undermine competition and history with suspect money. If clubs without billionaire owners like Barca and Real don't manage operations at a high level and constantly innovate, they run the risk of one day being unable to keep up financially with billionaire-owned clubs. Because these clubs with huge sugar daddy's copy and implement what the other clubs do (ie City copying Barca, or how richer baseball teams invest more into moneyball better than the A's.)
I think the potential move puts PSG in the running as a CL contender for years to come. This will be the highest profile transfer since CR7 and will surely attract other talent to the club. This would be for them what they dreamed the Beckham move would be. PSG has openly stated that they look to model themselves after the likes of RM, the Lakers, Yankees, and Ferrari in order to fully catch the stylish essence of Paris. This is the move that does just that for them. Which is why I've been saying that I think it will happen.
