For an investment of 500 million euros, the American investment fund Arctos Sports Partners took a 12.5% stake in PSG in December.
Arctos will not intervene in sporting choices but on certain issues such as that of the stadium.
In a conference organized by the Financial Times, Alastair Seaman, general manager of Arctos, returned to his commitment to PSG.
“They spent €150 million on a new training center which will have no equivalent,” said the CEO.
The club enjoys a huge population base which provides the most talent in the world.
These two data combined with the desire to invest in having a younger and more French team make the project financially interesting.

“This project can solve the problem”
Alastair Seaman then mentioned the construction of a new stadium while PSG is in conflict with Paris town hall over the Parc des Princes.
“There is a strong possibility of seeing PSG develop a new modern stadium in the suburbs,” he said.
It’s in progress, we’re working on it with them.
There are too many unmet demands today and this project can solve the problem.
It's simple, actually: there is only one club in a city like Paris, which is one of the most visited in the world.
This allowed their brand to become bigger than the local championship.
