Retired since 2019, Mathieu Flamini has since become a businessman in the world of biochemistry. According to the English press, the former international is open to purchasing shares in Arsenal, a club with which he has a special link.
Former footballer, turned successful businessman. Mathieu Flamini’s career path is not common. If the news that the former midfielder became a billionaire was false in 2018, it is now true in 2026. According to Forbes, the former Arsenal player now has a fortune estimated at £10 billion thanks to his biochemistry company ‘GF Biochemicals’. And the ex-Gunner would now like to invest in the London club.
According to the media Topskills Sports UK, Mathieu Flamini is open to buying shares in the club currently owned by businessman Stan Kroenke, American shareholder. “It goes without saying that these clubs (Arsenal and Marseille) hold a special place in my heart. I never forget where I come from,” said the 42-year-old former player.
A special bond
After training at Olympique de Marseille, Mathieu Flamini headed to Arsenal. He participated in 153 matches for the Gunners between 2004 and 2008, and 93 between 2013 and 2016 after a stint at AC Milan. Two periods during which he probably had the best years of his career, winning the greatest number of trophies. He also participated in the Champions League final with Arsenal at the Satde de France in 2006 against FC Barcelona.
The London club therefore played an important role in the career of the former Marseillais. It was also during his time at Arsenal that Mathieu Flamini had his three selections for the French team in 2007 and 2008. A good reason to want to help his former team today, in his own way.
