A company “capable of investing significantly in the club to enable it to continue its development and nurture new ambitions”, says the president, who specifies that “Racing will not become a branch” of Blues Londoners, winners of four European Cups and six championships, but a “sister club”, with two independent entities which will have a common shareholder.
No figure regarding the amount of the buyback has been communicated. Marc Keller, on the other hand, assures that the investment of newcomers will be “substantial, both in the club in general, the sports sector and training”.
A legacy to preserve
In the press release published today, the new shareholders insist on their desire to “preserve the heritage and the fervor around the club” and to “work in close collaboration with the teams in place”.
This is why Marc Keller will keep the presidency of the Alsatian club.
The new shareholder structure will still have to be validated by the DNCG, which has taken its decision under advisement while it examines all the documents in the file within two weeks.
But on June 22, 2023, Racing shifted into a new world, with the hope of continuing to grow with additional funds while maintaining its identity.
