Prospective Paris FC owner Antoine Arnault admits he has spoken to Jurgen Klopp about the team.
Arnault is hoping to buy a majority stake in the Paris-based team, with Red Bull taking on a minority position.

Klopp is the global head of soccer for the energy drink company, which means he will have a say in managing all their teams.
Speaking at his first press conference via L'Equipe, Arnault clarified: "The club will belong to my family. It will not be co-owned by the Arnault family and Red Bull.
“They do not want to access multi-ownership with a hypothetical 'Red Bull Paris FC', it is not at all the same logic that they have in Leipzig, Salzburg and other clubs. Here, it is really a sporting partner."
He added: "Jurgen is very excited by this project, with the prospect of giving us the benefit of his eye."
