Saudi investment in football continues unabated. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), which acquired Newcastle United in 2021 and owns several clubs in its domestic league (including Al-Ahli, Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad), continues its quest for new talent. Known for producing many talents, the French market is under the radar of the Persian Gulf country. And according to the latest indiscretions from Rudy Galetti published on X this Thursday, one of the revelations of the last Ligue 1 season, Guillaume Restes, would be directly targeted.
Guillaume Restes (TFC) interests the PIF
Thus, the PIF would have approached the goalkeeper of Toulouse Football Club. The Italian journalist specifies that this maneuver would aim to sound out Guillaume Restes with a view to a possible transfer this summer. The 19-year-old goalkeeper had seen his contract extended last October until 2028, after three successful first months of competition. Estimated at 18 million euros by the site Transfer market, keeping it will be one of the major challenges of the TFC summer transfer window. In the meantime, the person concerned continues his preparation with the France Espoirs team, less than a month before the start of the Olympic football tournament.
