"There is an anomaly in French football and in Parisian football, that it is probably the only big city in Europe with only one big football club. France's billionaire Arnault family, owners of luxury group LVMH and one of the richest dynasties on the planet, is preparing to secure majority ownership of minor soccer club Paris FC — but sees any sporting turnaround as a long-term aim. Antoine Arnault speaks to the media during the Paris FC press conference at Groupe ADP – Centre d’entrainement Paris FC on November 20, 2024 in Orly, France. Asked by CNBC whether he saw Paris FC as a potential challenger, Arnault said: "That would be very immodest of us, to even compare ourselves to Paris Saint-German. Arnault told CNBC that if his family wanted a "trophy asset," they would have looked elsewhere.
