The French Catalonia-based amateur side will receive €1.5m in the short term, more than doubling the club’s budget, after negotiations which began three months ago came to their close this weekend. General Manager Jordi Delclos said that the offer was first received with some reservations, before indicating that he had been given enough assurances over the club’s protection.

Athlon CIF head David Gibson, who had previously invested in local rugby side RC Narbonne, explained that the fund had looked at five clubs in French football’s fourth tier, before deciding on Canet as a result of its healthy finances, geographical location and strong identity.
