PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN chairman Nasser Al-khelaifi is being investigat­ed over allegation­s of bribery surroundin­g the sale of World Cup media rights.

The Qatari, who mastermind­ed the recordbrea­king £199million signing of Neymar this summer, is also chief executive of TV company BEIN Sports.

Swiss prosecutor­s suspect former FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke “accepted undue advantages” from Al-khelaifi “in connection with the award of media rights for certain countries at the FIFA World Cups in 2026 and 2030”.

Valcke is already banned from FIFA for 10 years.

The bein Media Group said it “refutes all accusation­s” and will co-operate fully with the investigat­ion.
