“These informations are false and we are denying them Son Heung-min Jersey ,” a group spokesman said, when asked about a report by French monthly magazine Capital.


Chief executive Alexandre Bompard took the helm at Carrefour, the world’s second-largest retailer behind Walmart , in July. He will unveil his turnaround plan Jan. 23 for the company, which issued a profit warning in August.

Investors also want Bompard to improve the group’s business in its core French market, where it is losing market share to unlisted rival Leclerc, and to speed up its expansion into e-commerce where it faces competition from Amazon.
