Supported by its new owner Antoine Arnault, Paris FC has the means to achieve its ambitions. Its winter transfer window will be followed carefully. But contrary to what one might think, the Ligue 2 resident does not intend to do anything crazy this winter.
This is not great form for Paris FC. Beaten in Lorient (2-0) on Saturday, Stéphane Gilli's men have won only one of their last six matches in Ligue 2, not counting their elimination in the Coupe de France against Quevilly Rouen Métropole (1-1, 4 -2 tab), National team. The candidate for promotion to the elite therefore has reason to consider recruitment this winter, especially as its recent change of ownership gives it serious financial advantages. The shareholder Antoine Arnault indeed has the means to achieve his great ambitions.
But Parisian supporters should not get carried away too quickly, Paris FC does not intend to do anything crazy this winter, warns RMC. The current second in Ligue 2 has planned simple adjustments to avoid disrupting a competitive group, and to leave room for young people from the training center, essential in the chosen project. The objective would be to recruit a right winger as well as a defender capable of playing in the center and on the right side. A limited recruitment for which Antoine Arnault does not wish to exceed 10 million euros in total. Paris FC refuses to incur expenses that do not correspond to its championship.

Thus, the Parisian team protects itself from an image of a club that overpays. Because of the wealth of its boss, the neighbor of Paris Saint-Germain receives numerous requests from players. Our colleagues say that an item offered at 4 million euros finally landed in Spain for half the price requested at Paris FC. This is why Antoine Arnault's club is preparing to wait for good operations at the end of the transfer window, with the hope of attracting players from Ligue 1 or playing abroad, why not in teams competing in the League Champions or the Europa League.
