Paris FC Arnault version, gone.
Validated by the DNCG, the financial watchdog of French football, the takeover of Paris FC by the Arnault family via its holding company “Agache » is now in effect. This Wednesday, it was time to present the project to the press for Antoine Arnault who is a priori excited at the idea of soon being able to have fun with his new toy. A toy for which he has already established a clear philosophy.
Have a team made up of at least 50% Parisians
« We want to build our own history, our own legend, while keeping the DNA of the club which is popular and which will remain soI would like to emphasize this, he explained. We don't arrive by saying to ourselves: 'We are going to revolutionize everything, we are going to turn the tables and change everything'. No way. On the contrary, we will improve things that already exist. We will make sure to create a club with great values, a great playing philosophy. We will work a lot on the training aspect. I want us to do something with this famous first pool of talent in the world. And I think we will be well placed to train young people, make them want to come to Paris FC, be able to make them play. If we are a club that is too high, it is difficult to play young talents, nuggets who are very young precisely. »
And to continue by mentioning Red Bull, minority shareholder with 15%: “Red Bull has this way of nurturing young people and then getting rid of them. We will not hesitate either, once we have made them grow, to separate from them in order to be able to recreate this beautiful dynamic from below and put young people back into the team. Ultimately, the idea is perhaps to have five, six, seven, why not eight players in the men's and women's first team who are trained at the club and young Parisians, Ile-de-France and French people. »
A sort of French Leipzig, in fact.
