French media company Webedia has purchased Team HUMA's EU Challenger Series spot for approximately $70,000 and plans to rebrand the team as Paris Saint-Germain esports, according to a report from ESPN's Jacob Wolf.

Citing anonymous industry sources, the report said that Webedia subsidiary Bang Bang Management negotiated the deal with Team Huma owner Behdad Jaafarian.

Jaafarian was banned from ownership in Riot-affiliated leagues after a Riot Games ruling that concluded he had failed to pay players their minimum required salary. Huma's EU CS spot was put up for sale mid-way through August.

A week ago, Paris Saint-Germain announced that it had formed a partnership with Webedia, which also owns esports club Millenium. The organization did not say which games or leagues it would be fielding teams in.

PSG is only the most recent football club to make moves into the esports landscape. FC Schalke 04 purchased a spot in the EU LCS, which it then lost as a result of relegation. Many other football clubs have shown interest in esports, but most have initially taken cautious moves, like signing FIFA 16 players.
