A new era is brewing at Paris FC with its takeover by the family Arnaultthird largest fortune in the world. While the new owners of the other club in the capital do not want to miss any steps, the resident of Ligue 2 has already stood out in the transfer window well before the first leaks of this project with ambitious recruitment last summer, and in particular the arrival of Jean-Philippe Krasso coming from Red Star Belgradea team with which he had just played in the Champions League.

That's really what made me decide to leave… The objective was not necessarily to return to Ligue 2, but to find a club where I was going to have maximum playing time. That was really the reason number 1. » It was then that the Paris FC knew how to take advantage of the situation.
