The American investment group Arctos Sports Partners is the frontrunner to buy a minority stake in Paris Saint-Germain and a deal could be concluded within months, the Guardian understands.
Arctos holds a stake in Fenway Sports Group, which owns Liverpool, and acquired a £29.2m portion of the Serie A club Atalanta last year. If the purchase of shares in PSG is completed it is expected to take a stake of between 5% and 15%, with the club valued at €4.25bn (£3.7bn).
