Paris Saint-Germain could quickly no longer be the only club in the capital with incredible resources. Paris FC is about to be bought by the wealthy Arnault family. A shareholder partnership with Red Bull is already in place and while awaiting the final green light for the integration of the two parties into the shareholding, a pivotal meeting with the DNCG is planned.
For several weeks, there has been talk of the sale of Paris FC. Pierre Ferracciwho is the president and majority shareholder of the capital club, is preparing his succession and has decided to entrust it to the family Arnault whose fortune estimated at 190 billion euros as well as the group Red Bull. Until 2027, Ferracci will retain approximately 30% of the capital before fully handing over to the Arnault family who will hold, from the formalization of the buyout, 55% of the club's shares while waiting for the fateful year.
“When they came to see me together last summer, I found the pair very attractive”
During an interview for Capital, Pierre Ferracci recently revealed that he greatly appreciated the discussions and the project proposed by Frédéric Arnault and Red Bull. “When they came to see me together last summer, I found the pair very attractive. The Arnaults know that you need to surround yourself with strong skills to succeed. Frédéric Arnault has established very good contacts with the leaders of Red Bull, in particular with Oliver Mintzlaff (DG of Red Bull, Editor's note). He was able to see their expertise in data, in management, but also in events in general.”
The meeting at the DNCG, a positive rite of passage for the sale of the PFC!
In recent hours, The Team made a vital point for the continuation of the operations and the imminent finalization of the sale of the Paris FC. On November 12, the National Directorate of Control and Management (DNCG) will meet the PFC. The meeting with the financial policeman of French football will be used to discuss with the future shareholders of the Ligue 2 resident. Even if this interview will not be decisive for the sale of the Paris FCthis obligatory rite of passage suggests that the finalization of the operation is closer than ever.
