Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Arctos will own 12.5% of the club, valuing PSG at 4.25 billion euros ($4.6 billion), said a person familiar with the deal who was not authorized to speak publicly.

The French league champion said Arctos' investment will go towards growing PSG operations and supporting plans to develop its stadium and training center. Arctos, as a non-controlling partner, won't have a say in sporting matters.
