Maxime Lopez Joins Paris FC: Aiming for Ligue 1 Ambitions

This summer, Maxime Lopez made a significant return to France, four years after departing from Olympique de Marseille. The 26-year-old midfielder has left Sassuolo to join Paris FC, a move that has garnered attention in the football community. Raí, a legendary figure from Paris Saint-Germain and ambassador for Paris FC, shared his thoughts on Lopez’s arrival at the club.

Could a second Parisian club soon be competing in the top tier? Paris FC, currently in Ligue 2, is setting its sights on Ligue 1 after an ambitious summer transfer window. The signings of notable players like Jean-Philippe Krasso (27 years old) and Maxime Lopez (26 years old) reflect the club’s aspirations for promotion in the next season.

Ambition Reflected in Strategic Signings

In an interview with Foot Mercato, Raí stated, “Signing well-known players of high quality shows the ambition of the club! Not only are they recognized, but their skills are undeniable. We’ve seen their talent in the past, and it’s evident on the pitch today. This shift in how players view Paris FC is crucial. They now see that joining us is a wise career move due to the club’s ambitions. When ambitious players choose your project, it’s a positive indicator.”

A Valuable Addition to the Team

Raí, who played for PSG from 1993 to 1998 and has served as Paris FC’s ambassador for the past two years, explained how he convinced Maxime Lopez to join the club. He remarked, “Maxime recognized the wonderful opportunity presented by Paris FC, especially with his brother Julien already at the club. His decision to join us indicates his belief in the project’s potential. Undeniably, he will also provide us with a lot. He brings magic, technique, and vision to our gameplay. He adds something truly valuable to our team.”
