At Paris FC, we are preparing to change era. The capital club could soon compete with PSG on the national, but also European, scene. Because if the club's short-term objective is to move up to Ligue 1 for the first time in its history, the future owners hope to quickly play in the European Cup.
The start of the season in Ligue 2 was marked by a thunderous announcement with the repurchase of the Paris FC by family Arnault et Red Bullalready well established in the sport. For the moment, the club's ambition is simply to grow Ligue 1, something never done in its history. Once this stage has passed, future owners will move up a gear.
“Ligue 1 objective”
Pierre Ferraccithe owner of Paris FCtook stock in the magazine Capital on the short-term ambitions of the capital club: “ The fact that we have good performances on the pitch pulls us up. But our project has been on track for a while since we have participated in the play-offs for accession to Ligue 1 over the last four years. I had set a Ligue 1 objective for the next two years. But when I saw that negotiations with possible buyers were on track last summer, we made a little extra effort at the end of the transfer window. »
“They want to play the European Cup”
« I will hand over to him (Frédéric Arnault), that’s what is agreed. We must be pleased to attract national economic forces like LVMH to football. The Arnault family will be a shareholder of Paris FC for a long time. They want to play in the European Cup and they have high ambitions, » concludes Pierre Ferracci. The PSG and the Ligue 1 are now warned: it will certainly be necessary to count on the Paris FC in the years to come.
