PARIS (Reuters) - An FC Barcelona member has filed complaints with a French court and with the European Union Commission with the aim of blocking any move by Lionel Messi to Paris Saint Germain soccer club, according to documents seen by Reuters on Monday.

In the complaints, shared by the fan's lawyer Juan Branco, the Barca member claims that French football authorities have failed to enforce their own financial fair play rules in order to help PSG become a force in European football.

The FFP rules notably forbid top European soccer clubs to pay their playing squads an excessive share of their total revenues, according to the member's complaints, which also state that the transfer of the 34-year-old Argentine star to PSG would breach the code. Sam Boor, a senior manager in Deloitte's sports business group, told Reuters in April that European soccer's governing body UEFA has historically said a 70% wage-to-revenue ratio should be the upper limit for clubs to target. But he added that a number of large clubs may go past that figure and possibly even breach 100% in the short term.
