PARIS (Reuters) - Nice owner Jim Ratcliffe is looking to put the French side on the European map but he is not willing to overspend, instead banking on the club becoming an incubator of talent to reach his goal.

Ratcliffe, one of Britain's richest people, owns the Ineos cycling team, which won the Tour de France this year with Colombian Egan Bernal. He was also the driving force behind Kenyan marathon runner Eliud Kipchoge's successful 'The 1:59 Challenge' and funds Ben Ainslie's 2021 America's Cup sailing venture.
