Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Arriving at PSG in 2011 through his QSI investment fund, Qatar experienced ups and downs in Paris. And while the situation would become complicated internally, a sale of PSG could not be ruled out according to L'EQUIPE. However, a QSI spokesperson broke the silence, ensuring that this was absolutely not the case.
In 2011, the PSG moved into another dimension with the takeover of the club by the investment fund of the State of Qatar, namely QSI. However, despite huge ambitions, the capital club have never managed to win the Champions League, leaving doubt over Qatar's future in the PSG while a minority investor recently entered the capital of the PSG namely the American investment fund Close Partners who acquired 12.5% of the club for €500m.
PSG for sale?
And according to information from THE TEAMthis is a clear signal that Qatar could sell the PSG in the coming months. Although the capital club is not officially for sale, the Emir would not refrain from accepting a good offer for the purchase of the PSG. Which was not the case before. It would be an earthquake in Paris.
QSI categorically denies
The information was therefore logically widely commented on, which prompted a spokesperson for QSI to speak to the English journalist Ben Jacobs. « This is completely false, the same newspaper writes the same nonsense week after week. Shareholders have just spent €350 million on Poissy, other major expansions to the Campus have just been announced, and are looking to invest hundreds of millions in a new stadium, while increasing our investment in football, sports and entertainment, but apparently we're looking to sell », says this member of the Qatari investment fund. A message that has the merit of being clear.
