American basketball player Kevin Durant, four-time Olympic gold medalist with Team USA, will become a minority shareholder in the Paris Saint-Germain football club, Radio France’s sports management learned from a source close to the matter on Monday, August 12, confirming information from RMC. This stake acquisition comes a few months after the arrival of the American investment fund Arctos Partners with a 12.5% stake.
The 35-year-old is a PSG fan. This summer, during the Olympic Games, he visited the Paris Saint-Germain training center in Poissy in the Yvelines, in the presence of Nasser al-Khelaïfi, the president of the Parisian club. Kevin Durant is not the only basketball player to invest in football clubs. For example, his teammate in Team USA, LeBron James, is a minority shareholder in the English club Liverpool.
