Take PSG for example, if they go over the salary cap by 100M, and have to pay 200M in luxury tax, they will just send the bill to their owner and have him write a check for it. The key for any North America system to work was that all the teams/owners/players worked as a collective and figured out an acceptable way to operate for all parties, nobody tries to circumvent the rules for their own benefit. That spirit of collaboration and trust does not exist at all in UEFA. I mean, are we really supposed to believe UEFA will come down hard and stop PSG from signing literally everyone out there for any reason ever? It is fine to have rules, but when the party that is responsible for upholding the rules plays favorites, those rules are effectively useless anyway.
P$G will keep using loopholes to do whatever they like. Have a Salary cap? then they'll just do sponsorship deals instead. Have a Luxry tax? They'll just pay it.
Close the loopholes and punish ALL clubs breaking the rules. not just Milan.

Teams can only spend up to 70% of revenue on player salaries. Income is calculated by match revenues, etc and yes sponsorship deals but how about capping sponsorships deals relative to revenue. In order to allow poorer teams compete abit more the 70% could be variable depending on revenue.
Random example:
If PSG say we made 500 million last year so we can spend 350 million on players then only 100 of the 500 could be allowed to have come from sponsorships.
This is getting closer to what I think could work.
Although I think it needs tiers.
eg.
under 50m wages - 80%
Under 100m - 75%
Under 150m - 70%
Under 200m - 65%
Over 201m - 55/60%
That sort of thing would keep clubs a little closer together. And all payments would fall under this. Wages and Sponsorships
