It was only a matter of days.
As indicated a few weeks ago on our site, Rai (57) will have a role to play in the other club of the capital, Paris FC, resident of Ligue 2. The former captain of PSG arrives in the luggage of Sport Bridges Venture (SBV), a new American investor who will take 9% of the shares against 3 M€, as announced by L'Equipe.
Sport Bridges Venture joins the capital of PFC Pierre Ferracci, the majority shareholder with 52-53%, the Kingdom of Bahrain (19-20%), BRI Sports Holding, which belongs to an Anglo-Sri Lankan investor (19-10 %), and the penultimate comer, the Noah Football Group, an Armenian investor, which also owns 9-10% of the club.

For Pierre Ferracci, the president of the PFC, this is excellent news and an opening to new horizons: “I am delighted that Rai is joining us, both the footballer and the man.
His foundation, which helps young people from the favelas, speaks to me.
He will help us as an ambassador to enlarge our circle of partners.
It will also have a societal impact, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) actions being more and more present in football and should open the doors of Brazil to us.

The former star of the Parc des Princes, who marked a whole generation of supporters (between 1993 and 1998) with in particular the victory in the Coupe des Coupes in 1996, made it clear that his attachment to PSG (with whom he played the role of ambassador in 2006-07) is still intact.
"It does not change anything in my relationship with PSG, nor in the love I have for him, nor in my history with him", underlines the brother of Socrates in the Team.
