Paris FC have pulled off a major coup. Brazilian centre-back Otávio Ataide, 21, has officially signed with the Ligue 1 newcomers until 2030. The deal, worth €17 million plus €3 million in bonuses, sets the tone for what promises to be a blockbuster summer.
This is the first major signing of the club’s new American-Qatari ownership era—and it speaks volumes. Backed by an estimated €80 million transfer budget, Paris FC are not here to simply survive in Ligue 1—they’re here to shake things up.
Despite interest from top European clubs, Otávio chose Paris, attracted by the club’s vision and the promise of a starting role in the heart of defence.

And this is just the beginning. More signings are on the way, particularly in midfield and attack, with experienced profiles targeted to support the club’s rising talents.
Message received: Paris FC are done playing small. Ligue 1, brace yourself.
