Recently appointed General Manager of the French champion club, Victoriano Melero is not worried about the arrival of the Arnault family and Red Bull at Paris FC.
All good for PSG? With the passage under the control of the Arnault family and Red Bull, Paris FC is set to change dimension in the years to come. Like Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, excited, Victoriano Melero is not worried about the expected progress of the Parisian neighbor. “It's interesting, not so much about the sports infrastructures but the dynamics, the competition, it's always good to have emulation on the field but also off it, in order to continue to always be ahead and disruptive through compared to the model which was initiated by PSG since its creation and reinforced since the arrival of QSI. PSG is a young club which has always been different in the French and European ecosystem.underlined this Monday, at a press conference, the new general director of Paris Saint-Germain.
Always more fond of young talents with its new sports policy, PSG could however be hampered by the PFC's appetite in this area. Especially since Red Bull is known for eyeing the gems of tomorrow all over Europe and even the world. This did not escape Victoriano Melero.

Red Bull comes to obtain its supplies “at the source”
“There is only one club at the very high level in Paris. I think that there is room for several clubs and that it will not overshadow PSG because Île-de-France has the capacity to absorb these clubs.notes sports economist Christophe Lepetit. Everyone is in their own project. PSG has its own, with its international strategy, Red Star and PFC have another. There is more emulation than competition to fear. Moreover, the Ile-de-France region is the first in the world in terms of recruitment. The competition is therefore French, there will be Paris FC, but there are also European clubs which have scouts everywhere in Ile de France. This emulation will create a ripple effect favorable to the whole, including PSG, but there is not necessarily any fear to be had in relation to this new competition, which is rather beneficial to French football as a whole..
Mr. Melero notes that Paris FC “is already an actor on the French football scene but it is not the only one who comes to recruit from the breeding ground of Ile de France, Reims, Angers, even Lyon, not to mention the most present, Monaco, (with the example of Ben Seghir and Akliouche). Additional competition? Neither more nor less, perhaps a boost. But there is another player when we talk about the PFC, Red Bull, which has a particular attraction for young French players and we can therefore think that it has an interest, for a player in European football, to come to the Ile-de-France market. at the source through this partnership, rather than through the acquisition of young gems from French training clubs”. This is indeed undoubtedly the number 1 interest of the Austrian firm.
