Phoenix Suns and U.S. national team star Kevin Durant is poised to become a minority shareholder in Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), as reported by L’Equipe.

Durant, a known fan of PSG, is expected to purchase a stake in the Parisian club for several million euros. His connection with PSG runs deep, as he shares a strong friendship with the club’s owner, Nasser Al-Khelaifi. On August 6, Durant visited PSG’s campus, further solidifying his ties with the team.
