Freshly promoted to Ligue 1 and now bought by the Arnault family, Paris FC changes its dimension. It remains to be seen what budget the club will invest in its transfer window to succeed in its debut among the elite.
Promoted in Ligue 1 for the first time in 46 years, Paris FC is preparing to approach a new era, only six months after its acquisition by the Arnault family, one of the largest French fortunes. This change of majority shareholder, accompanied by the arrival of Red Bull on the sporting plan, propelled the Parisian club into another dimension, both financial and structural.
While the club will set up at the Jean-Bouin stadium for its home matches next season and its notoriety continues to grow, management is now faced with a major challenge: succeeding in its beginnings among the elite. The question, now, is to know which envelope will be dedicated to the transfer window in order to allow the club to start well in Ligue 1.
The PFC budget for this summer is estimated between 70 and 100 million euros, one of the most important for a promoted, according to The team. The club hopes eight recruits, including confirmed Ligue 1 players.
If the original will remains first to ensure the maintenance and to avoid an immediate return to Ligue 2, the spectacular increase in the budget suggests stronger ambitions. However, management is still in the face of a major challenge: succeeding in your transfer window, under the watchful eye of the DNCG (entity responsible for control of the financial fair play). It remains to be seen how the club will invest these means to succeed in its debut among the elite.
