Kevin Durant left Paris with tons of great memories. Starting his fourth straight Olympic Games participation with an almost perfect 23-point shooting night (8/9 FG), he went all the way to contribute to Team USA’s fifth consecutive gold, winning once again.
In the city where he became the male basketball player with the most gold medals won throughout his career (2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024), he also likely shook hands for a new investment outside of basketball.
As reported by French sports journalist Romain Molina and transfer market Italian reporter Fabrizio Romano, the 35-year-old will become a minority stakeholder of Paris Saint-Germain, the biggest football club in France and one of the favorites to win the UEFA Champions League every season.
He will join LeBron James as another current NBA player who owns part of a Champions League football club. The Chosen One has been investing in English powerhouse Liverpool for years now.
