Paris Saint-Germain President Nasser Al-Khelaifi revealed on Monday that the French club is considering selling shares after receiving “different offers”.
“We received an offer of more than 4 billion (euros) but we are not going to sell, of course, just a percentage of the club, we’ll think about it,” Qatari Al-Khelaifi told talkSPORT on the sidelines of the World Cup in Doha.
L’Équipe had revealed on Sunday, that an unnamed American investment fund was interested in acquiring a stake worth up to 15% in the Ligue 1 champions, who have been under the full ownership of Qatar Sports Investments since 2011.
Sources from around QSI had confirmed to L’Équipe that there was indeed interest in the club, but that the arrival of a minority shareholder would not be signalling the end of their time with the French champions,
Al-Khelaifi also defended his work over the past 11 years at PSG. Since the Qatari investment fund QSI bought PSG in 2011, the club has won eight French championships and six French Cups, but failed to conquer the Champions League, failing in the final in 2020.
“It’s good business,” he estimated.
“We took the club at 70 million euros and today it’s over 4 billion euros.
“It’s a good project, We don’t do everything right, of course we’re not perfect.”
“People think we just have money and spent money, that’s not true,” continued the 49-year-old. “From where we bought the club I think we should be proud.”
