A real competitor to PSG in Paris? In any case, this is what the LVMH group and Red Bull are hoping for, who are joining forces and investing in Paris FC. This summer, to everyone's surprise, Maxime Lopez signed a contract with a club in the Capital to join his brother who has been there for several seasons now. According to L'Equipe, the PFC “could move into another dimension with the arrival of the owners of LVMH and Red Bull”
However, this news does not make everyone happy. Indeed, according to newspaper information The Team, the president of PSG, Nasser Al Khelaïfi wouldn't really be happy with the idea of having a new competitor around him.
Maxime Lopez explains his choice…
Paris FC made a big move in the transfer window in the last few days by signing Maxime Lopez. After emerging at Olympique de Marseille, the 26-year-old midfielder spent 4 years in Italy, at Sassuolo then at Fiorentina before returning to France. The former Marseille player signed for the capital club, but not the one you think, Lopez will have to take a trip to Ligue 2 to return to the highest level. Good news for him, Paris FC aims to move up to Ligue 1. At the microphone of RMC this Thursday evening, Maxime Lopez was able to express the reasons why he signed for PFC. “ It was a surprising choice. Last year, I was at Fio, we played a Conference League final. Two months later, I signed with the PFC. It's simple, we're not going to lie. I had a complicated transfer window because I had a complicated season. I haven't had that many offers. Over the last few days, there have been things with Ligue 1 clubs, but I had already made my choice. I wanted to join this project” he declared.
