Adrien Rabiot and mother Véronique file fresh legal claim against PSG over insults and banners
Adrien Rabiot (29) and his mother and long-time advisor Véronique have filed legal action against Paris Saint-Germain following their return to the Parc des Princes with Marseille on 16th March. According to Le Parisien, the pair are suing PSG for their alleged failure to manage abusive banners and insults from supporters during the Classique clash.
The case has been brought before the Paris judicial court, with both Rabiot and his mother demanding €15,000 in damages. However, their primary goal is not financial – they want the court to acknowledge what they perceive as a serious failure in PSG's handling of fan conduct, particularly regarding the club's responsibility to ensure security and appropriate behaviour in the stands.

During Rabiot's first at the Parc as an opposition player since leaving PSG in 2019 – numerous derogatory chants and banners targeting the France international and his mother were visible in the Auteuil end. Although the LFP handed PSG a €20,000 fine and a one-match partial stand closure in early April, the Rabiots argue these sanctions are insufficient.
Represented by lawyer Me Romuald Palao, they accuse PSG of failing in its duty to police the stands, which resulted in personal harm. A first hearing is set for November 4th, although it may be postponed depending on how PSG respond.
This comes just days after Rabiot won a separate legal battle against PSG regarding the nature of his former contracts. The Paris industrial tribunal reclassified his professional player contracts as permanent (CDI), ordering PSG to pay €1.3 million in compensation.

NBA star Kevin Durant becomes minority shareholder at PSG
According to an official club communiqué, NBA icon Kevin Durant has become a minority shareholder in Paris Saint-Germain. While Durant had previously held an indirect stake in the club through Arctos Partners he has now taken on a direct equity role. Durant, a two-time NBA champion and Olympic gold medallist, is expected to play an active part in PSG's basketball project, which includes plans to launch a professional franchise. The percentage of club ownership remains unchanged for now, as Durant's new role represents a transfer of shares from Arctos to him personally. Advertisement According to a report from The Athletic, QSI revealed that it had been approached about the possibility of launching a basketball franchise in Paris back in March – with the NBA looking to expand into Europe. Adam Crafton reports that the 36-year-old had previously invested a single-digit million share in PSG made via Arctos Sports Partners. This latest deal sees Durant exit the stake acquired via Arctos, with his exit taken up via other money from the fund. 'It is an honour to partner with QSI and be a shareholder in Paris Saint-Germain — a club and a city that is so close to my heart,' said in a communiqué. 'This club has big plans ahead and I can't wait to be a part of the next phase of growth; and to explore new investment opportunities with QSI.' GFFN | George Boxall

😱 Chelsea out to Flamengo 3-1: Danilo scores, Jackson madness 🇧🇷
Brazilian teams continue to impress in the Club World Cup: Flamengo beats Chelsea 3-1 in a comeback, this is the second giant killing after Botafogo's against PSG. We also remember the two draws of Palmeiras and Fluminense against Porto and Borussia Dortmund. No Brazilian team has yet lost in the competition. ⚡Pedro Neto's illusion and 6 minutes of madness At the 13' Pedro Neto scores in open field taking advantage of a serious mistake by Wesley (linked to several Italian teams in recent days) but Chelsea does not have the dominance of the game or possession: even 63% against the 37% of the Blues. However, Maresca's team experiences 6 minutes of total distraction: first a beautiful launch by Gerson (ex Fiorentina) inspires the header assist for Bruno Henrique's tap-in at the 62', who entered the field 10' ago. 2 minutes pass and Flamengo completes the comeback: on a corner kick, ex-Juve Danilo scores the 2-1 with a split. 😱 Nicolas Jackson sent off after 4'! Goal from 2005 The sporting madness continues with the expulsion of Nicolas Jackson at the 68', just 4 minutes after he came on. Hammer leg for no reason and a rightful red. Flamengo's coach Filipe Luis (former Atletico Madrid full-back) brings in the 2005 class striker Wallace Yan who fortuitously finds the 3-1 at the 83'. 🇧🇷 Brazilian Dominance: Chelsea and PSG KO! Dortmund 🛑 This result confirms a very clear trend: Brazilian teams are dominating these early rounds of the Club World Cup, especially against the big European teams Advertisement Remember that Palmeiras drew with Porto 0-0 and is in 1st place in Group A, as is Botafogo in Group B after beating PSG 1-0. Fluminense, on the other hand, held Borussia Dortmund to a 0-0 draw but creating more chances than the Germans. And now Flamengo's 3-1 win over Chelsea has arrived, with the red-blacks leading Group D: 6 points out of 6. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

List of most expensive soccer signings in history
Associated Press Florian Wirtz became one of the most expensive players in soccer history when the Germany playmaker joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen on Friday for a fee of up to 116 million pounds ($156 million). Neymar: $262 million (222 million euros) Paris Saint-Germain shattered the world-record transfer fee by signing the Brazil superstar from Barcelona in August 2017. It was more than double the outlay of Manchester United to sign Paul Pogba from Juventus for $116 million a year earlier. It remains the record transfer fee. ___ Kylian Mbappé: $216 million (180 million euros) A few weeks after buying Neymar, PSG also secured a loan deal for Mbappé — then the rising star of French soccer playing for Monaco — that included the option to make the move permanent in 2018. PSG did so, making it an outlay of nearly $500 million on two players. ___ Philippe Coutinho: $192 million (160 million euros) Flush with cash after selling Neymar a year earlier, Barcelona spent most of it in a deal to buy Brazil playmaker Coutinho from Liverpool for a Spanish record fee. ___ Moises Caicedo: $146 million (115 million pounds) The Ecuador midfielder's move was previously the most expensive deal by a British club, with Chelsea buying him from Brighton in August 2023. ___ Joao Felix: $140 million (126 million euros) Atletico Madrid triggered a buyout clause in Félix's contract to sign the Portugal forward from Benfica in August 2019. ___ Jude Bellingham: $139 million (128.5 million euros) The England star got his big move to Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in June 2023, for an initial up-front fee of 103 million euros plus add-ons linked to performance. ___ Antoine Griezmann: $134 million (120 million euros) Atletico could afford to sign Félix after selling France forward Griezmann to Barcelona for a similar fee a few weeks earlier. ___ Neymar: $98 million (90 million euros) Outside from Europe, the biggest transfer deal also involved Neymar when he joined Al Hilal, a team in the Saudi Pro League, from Paris Saint-Germain in August 2023. That came at the height of Saudi Arabia's push to sign high-end soccer talent to ignite the oil-rich state's domestic league. ___ AP soccer:
