The recent entry of an American investment fund, Arctos, into the capital of PSG would confirm for some QSI’s desire to disengage from the capital club.
Is PSG on the cusp of a revolution? This is the feeling of some following the arrival of Arctos, an American investment fund, in the capital of PSG. “Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) and Arctos Partners (Arctos) today announced a strategic partnership and investment agreement which will see Arctos acquire a minority stake in the capital of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the most titled from France and one of the largest multi-sport brands in the world”, the capital club recently announced in a press release.
If the French champions did not give figures, QSI would have sold 12.5% of PSG’s capital for the sum of 530 million euros. And for some, this could be just the beginning of Qatari disengagement. “ The club now has a minority shareholder, Arctos, an American fund, with around 15%. Many whisper that there would be an option to become the majority in the long term. This is the real question: does Arctos have an option to become a majority shareholder. This is what is being whispered very very loudly given the insistence of the Qataris to recover a club in England. thus launched Romain Molina on his YouTube channel.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi obviously had a completely different speech when welcoming the arrival of Arctos in the capital of the Parisian club. “We are pleased to welcome Arctos to the Paris Saint-Germain family, as a partner and strategic investor, the president of PSG reacted. From day one, they have passionately believed in our project, our plan and our vision for the club – and we are proud to have them as part of our family. Today is an important milestone in the history of Paris Saint-Germain and will greatly contribute to the continued success and growth of our great club. »
