According to an article by Le Progres, Parker confirmed that he and Fedorychev are among a group of investors who are seeking to purchase the LDLC Arena.

However, the mayors of Villeurbanne and Decines, Cedric Van Styvendael and Laurence Fautra, are not in favor of the idea of selling the LDLC Arena, which is found in Décines-Charpieu in Lyon,France, to a foreign investor.

"I would like the arena to remain owned by a French person if possible and not for it to be sold piecemeal to foreign investors. I find it a shame that it barely opened, and they are already selling this beautiful equipment," said Fautra.

At the moment, a deal is not underway, but the interest from investors has been confirmed definitively.
