The proximity between the two strong men, Antoine Arnault and Nasser al-Khelaifi, rather takes the PFC elsewhere.
With the fresh promise of the immense Paris FC project,
which is about to be bought by the Arnault family with the support of the Red Bull group, many steps will have to be taken as quickly as possible by this club which is already the second in the capital. The rise in Ligue 1 is obviously desired and becomes downright essential for the leaders of L2, where it would be almost impossible in terms of image to remain in the soulless lair of Charléty – where the PFC has been playing for ten years, in National then in League 2.
The Jean-Bouin hypothesis is much more plausible, so as not to skip steps
All eyes are inevitably turning towards the Park, in a context of latent war between the municipality and Paris Saint-Germain who would like to buy the stadium. According to RMC Sport, Anne Hidalgo and her team are very enthusiastic because Paris FC could become a contender for the occupation of the Park from 2028, if PSG were to actually leave (voluntarily or by force) its historic stadium from the Porte de Saint-Cloud.
However, our colleagues also specify that Antoine Arnault, son of Bernard and youngest manager (47 years old) at the direct origin of this new involvement – he is notably president of Berluti and general director of the family holding Christian Dior -, is a friend of Nasser al-Khelaifi and fervent supporter of PSG. There will therefore probably be no quarrel between the two parties and it is much more plausible that the PFC will instead fall back on Jean-Bouin, in order not to skip ahead. It is rather a cohabitation with the Stade Français (rugby) which should then be established in the enclosure of almost 20,000 seats (exactly 19,904 seats), where the stands are much closer to the pitch and the location in the city is good. more attractive than that of Charléty in the depths of the thirteenth arrondissement.
