In this Friday’s edition of the newspaper The ParisianJean-Michel Aulas gave his point of view on this news: “ This is great for Paris first of all, which has obvious advantages for major investors. That the Arnault family is not indifferent to football, beyond Paris, is fantastic news. I am thinking of women’s football, which I chair: the possibilities that this opens up, with collaborations, for example with luxury brands, can be interesting. The association with Red Bull makes a lot of sense. Pierre Ferracci was able, in a complex moment for French football, to give himself the means to allow football and Paris to have very high quality interlocutors. »

Also questioned about the alliance between the clan of Bernard Arnault, one of the richest men in the world, and Red Bull, known for its work in football for several years, the former president of Olympique Lyonnais regrets not having had such important collaborators before. “ Gérard Houllier, who worked for a long time [pour Red Bull]told me about their method of operation on training. This is the best way to bring young people to the highest level. The interest is obvious, in particular for Paris FC, because this is what was criticized against PSG in particular. Red Bull are very good people, who have German-Austrian rigor and who do not hesitate to invest substantial sums. I would have liked to have a club with such shareholders “, he said.
