Arctos Partners LP is buying a minority stake in Paris Saint-Germain, the football club home to superstar Kylian Mbappe, in a deal that shows American investors are continuing to bet on the valuation of European sports teams.
Paris Saint-Germain’s Qatari owners have agreed to sell a 12.5% minority stake to Arctos at a valuation of about €4 billion ($4.3 billion), people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg. That’s a steep increase from 2011, when Qatar Sports Investments bought a 70% stake for €70 million.
