Paris FC Linked to Mbappé and Klopp Signings – Swift Clarification Offered
Mbappé and Klopp are currently the talk of the town among Paris FC fans.

As the transfer market nears its opening, clubs across Europe are laying the groundwork for the upcoming season. One of the clubs drawing attention this window is Paris FC, a newly promoted team to Ligue 1, preparing to challenge the dominance of city rivals PSG, owned by Nasser Al-Khelaifi and the Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

Paris FC aims to strengthen its identity—but with a philosophy that stands in contrast to that of PSG. Michel Denisot, a board member at Paris FC, made that clear in recent statements.

“The idea is not to bring Mbappé back to Paris,” Denisot said. “It’s more about building a team composed, as much as possible, of players from the Parisian suburbs.”

Klopp’s Role in the Project

Denisot also revealed that Jürgen Klopp—who has been mentioned as a candidate for Real Madrid’s managerial role for the 2025–2026 season—will play a significant role in Paris FC’s development.

“The goal is to build a different kind of club with a unique philosophy,” he explained. “We want to truly represent the Île-de-France region and tap into the immense talent it produces—around 80% of the players in the French national team come from this area. There’s a lot of work ahead, including structuring the club and developing our training center, which we’ll do with the support of Red Bull and the experience of Jürgen Klopp. There’s a real collaboration with Red Bull in shaping the club.”

For now, this announcement serves as a warning shot to PSG. With Paris FC establishing itself just a stone’s throw away from the Parc des Princes, Al-Khelaifi and the Emir may soon face a serious local contender ready to shake the foundations of French football’s capital.
