Holder of a Master's degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents' dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.

Journalist for The Team, Loïc Tanzi attempted to explain this phenomenon. According to him, American investment funds import this type of contract, which is very widespread in UNITED STATESon the old continent.
Will PSG take an example?
« A new investor has arrived at PSG, Arctos Partners, an American fund, which is also in baseball. They also bring their expertise to contracts. They can very well say to PSG: “We don't understand why there are two-year contracts when they don't exist in American clubs.” The more American investment funds arrive in football, the more we will see long contracts because it is the American method » he confided. It is therefore not impossible to see this type of contract developing in PSG in the coming years.
