Ferracci Transfers: President Reveals Post-August Plans

After spending more than € 50 million on the transfer market last summer, the Parisian promoted could again untie the stock market cords in January.

So far, so good. Back in Ligue 1 for the first time in 46 years, Paris FC occupies eighth place in the Ligue 1 ranking after its 2-0 victory over Lorient on Friday, at the opening of the seventh day. Passed under the thumb of the Arnault family in November 2024, with the assistance of Red Bull, the club obviously feeds ambitions for the future, even if the idea is to build itself “Little by little, step by step. We want to maintain ourselves, I will not say comfortably because there is never comfort, but not to give cold sweats to our supporters at the end of the season “said the president Ferracci on Friday, on Ligue 1+.

As for the maintenance, this seems to be in the strings of the Stéphane Gili group, largely reinforced during the offseason (Simon, Lees-Melou, Traoré, Ikoné, Otavio, de Smet, Geubbels, Trapp). Hors-Bonus, the Parisian club paid € 57 million last summer, during the transfer window.


We had two targets that we have not yet done.

«We have a budget four times higher but we invest a lot in Orly for the training center. You must constitute a player asset. But we have a fairly comfortable budget“Explains Pierre Ferracci, also beaten by Olivier Létang Thursday as president of the Ligue 1. college. And to continue:”We haven’t completely finished our transfer window in August. We had two targets that we have not yet done. Maybe we will do it in January or as a joker … But we already have a beautiful team, we are rather satisfied with our transfer window».

During the summer, Paris FC notably sought to attach the services of two young attackers playing in France, the Nantes Mathys Abline and the Stéphanois Lucas Stassin. Two players are under contract until 2028.
