NBA Star Kevin Durant Acquires Minority Stake in Paris St-Germain Football Club

Two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant has made headlines by acquiring a minority stake in the prestigious Paris St-Germain football club. The Phoenix Suns forward finalized a strategic partnership deal with Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), PSG's majority owners, to offer his expertise as the club ventures into basketball.

Durant expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating, "It is an honor to partner with QSI and to become a shareholder of PSG, a club and city that holds a special place in my heart." The four-time Olympic gold medalist looks forward to contributing to PSG's future growth and exploring new investment opportunities alongside QSI.

Earlier this year, QSI revealed their interest in owning a team in a proposed European basketball league in partnership with the NBA and Fiba. The collaboration between PSG and Durant's media and investment company, Boardroom, will encompass various commercial, investment, and content projects. The NBA star will also assist PSG in their ongoing sports and business diversification efforts.

While Durant was previously connected to PSG through minority shareholder Arctos Partners, he has now made a direct investment in the club. The basketball star, known for his success with the Golden State Warriors and his Olympic achievements, was recently recognized in Forbes' list of highest-paid athletes for 2025.

QSI's acquisition of PSG in 2011 has been instrumental in the club's success, leading to 11 Ligue 1 titles and their historic Champions League victory over Inter Milan last month. The partnership with Kevin Durant marks an exciting new chapter for both PSG and the acclaimed NBA player.
