A second major football club in Paris? The new takeover of the PFC by the Arnault Family and Red Bull has in any case fueled some fantasies in recent weeks, such as that of seeing a Parisian club finally compete with PSG. In an interview given to FigaroAntoine Arnault, the representative of Agache, the holding company of the Arnault family involved in the takeover of the PFC, has in any case dismantled this idea.
“If the ambition is to dethrone PSG? I’ve been a PSG supporter since I was 12, so you’ll never hear me say a negative word about Paris SG. It would be very presumptuous of us to imagine being able to compete with PSG. Nasser (Al-Khelaïfi, president of the Parisian club) has built something extraordinary, the previous shareholders had put in place an ultra-solid foundation. Today, PSG is one of the top three clubs in the world in terms of valuationinsisted the general director of Christian Dior SE. Our objective is first of all to have a good season in Ligue 2 and to move up to Ligue 1. Then, when, I hope, we are in L1, we must create a club which remains in the elite and installed there. To, afterwards, hope to be able to secure European places regularly.”
