Professional basketball player Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns recently made a trip to Paris, not only to bring home an Olympic gold medal, but also to secure a piece of another sports club. It was revealed that Durant, along with his business partner Rich Kleiman, has invested in the French football club Paris Saint-Germain through their brand Boardroom.
The announcement of this exciting investment was made on social media by Boardroom, who struck a deal with the club through their strategic minority investor, Arctos Partners. Fans were thrilled to hear the news and eagerly await further details that will be shared in the near future.
During their visit to Paris earlier this month, Durant and Kleiman had the opportunity to meet with Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the president of Paris Saint-Germain. The pair were given a tour of the club's impressive training facility and education center, where they were able to witness firsthand the innovation and excellence that is present in this new environment.
As part of their visit, Durant and Kleiman also spent time with the club's professional football teams, including the women's and youth academy teams. Paris Saint-Germain even shared video footage of Durant's visit, which showed him interacting with team members, staff, and other employees. He even took the time to sign basketballs and share his thoughts on playing in Paris back in 2015.
Moving forward, Boardroom and Paris Saint-Germain will be working closely together to develop a mutually beneficial partnership that will include collaborations in content and strategy. This is not the first time Durant has invested in soccer, as he is also a minority owner of the MLS club Philadelphia Union and the NWSL club NJ/NY Gotham FC.
In addition to his investments in soccer, Durant has also shown support for diversity in the world of sports. Last year, he became an investor in the National Cycling League, the first majority-women and minority-owned professional sports league. This league, which launched in 2022, has opened doors for Black cycling enthusiasts and participants, diversifying a historically white-dominated sport.
On top of all of this exciting news, Durant and his Team USA Basketball teammates recently brought home the gold medal after defeating France in the finals with a score of 98-87. It was a proud moment for Durant and the country as they continue their streak of winning gold in the Olympics.
In other news, rapper Lil Wayne recently revealed that he has recorded a feature with Durant, adding even more hype and excitement to the already eventful year for the talented athlete. Fans cannot wait to see what the future holds for Durant and his various investments and endeavors in the world of sports.
