Paris FC is targeting Ligue 1 and Champions League players!

Since November 29, Paris FC has changed dimension. Officially bought by the Arnault family and the Red Bull group, the Parisian club began to dream bigger, like its big brother, Paris Saint-Germain. Equipped with a whole new financial power, the PFC has already announced that it does not intend to spend fortunes without thinking and that it wishes to go step by step. Clearly, the PFC already wants to leave Ligue 2 and join Ligue 1 as quickly as possible.

«Our objective is first of all to have a good season in Ligue 2 and to move up to Ligue 1. Then, when, I hope, we are in L1, we must create a club which remains in the elite and installed there. To, afterwards, hope to be able to secure European places regularly», declared Antoine Arnault. Currently second in the ranking, two points behind the Lorient leader, the Parisians are in the nails.

Not crazy, but…

However, if it intends to remain measured, Paris FC does not refrain from giving Stéphane Gilli a little helping hand. In short: the Ile-de-France residents are ready to recruit this winter. RMC Sport also reveals the PFC plan. The club would like to recruit two profiles as a priority: a right winger and a right-axis central defender. No names of tracked players are given, but the media reminds that no crazy things will be done.

Concretely, the record transfer of Lucas Ocampos (Monaco had dropped €13 million in 2012) will remain the most expensive operation in the history of L2. The PFC would have also rejected several player proposals, including one at €4 million for a player who ultimately left for La Liga for half the price. However, the media adds a detail which will not fail to titillate Parisian supporters. The PFC would like to draw from clubs with overloaded squads which will have left the European Cups. Thus, RMC ensures that the Arnault family club would have L1 players and others involved in the Champions League and the Europa League in the sights. Suspense!
