We might as well make it clear from the outset, we are here in the purest speculation, there is not the shadow of a rapprochement between Kylian Mbappé and the other club in the capital of France. But there are reasons to imagine possible, the association of the player and Paris FC, which we will detail below. And then you will say to yourself that it is Sports who first brought up the idea.
Why the hell ask this question, which is nonetheless preposterous: “What if Mbappé signed for Paris FC? “. Already, because the PFC is about to be sold. The club and its future buyer have confirmed that they have entered into exclusive negotiations. Soon the current leader of Ligue 2 will belong to the richest family in France and the fifth on the planet in Forbes' real-time ranking: the Arnaults, father and son.
The 5th fortune in the world soon to head Paris FC
They will be accompanied by Red Bull as the majority shareholder, which has certain know-how in sport and particularly football. In addition, will join the brand specializing in energy drinks, a certain Jürgen Klopp who has always praised the captain of the France team, as recently as February when he was invited to comment the rumor of interest from the Liverpool Reds which he still managed. “I can say that I think he is a very good player,” he said.
With the acquisition by the Arnault family worth 160 billion euros according to Forbes estimates, speculation is rife about the future of Paris FC and the resources that will be granted to it. Recruiting Mbappé is – financially speaking – within the realm of possibility. At the very least, the conceivable.
Mbappé “the sandwich man” of the LVMH group
The current context and the growing tensions between Kylian Mbappé and his former employer Paris Saint-Germain also justify the Paris FC hypothesis. After all, Mbappé is not a near opposite, Real Madrid who were expecting him in 2022 learned this the hard way. Joining the neighbor and rival PFC, once it complies with its high ambitions, would expose the player enormously, but it would also be a great opportunity for him to screw a PSG team who really liked him. But also hated.
Finally, and this is the best argument that can be defended, Kylian Mbappé is already very steeped in the culture of the Arnault family. Le Canard chainé even describes him in one subject as “their sandwich man”, because he is very widely associated with the brands of the LVMH group that the future buyers of the PFC govern. Namely Dior for textiles (excluding sports which is the preserve of Nike), Hublot for watchmaking and Rimowa, luggage.
From the promotion of extra-football companies to another on the green rectangle, who says that Kylian Mbappé will never wear the Paris FC jersey? At least not us…
