This Thursday, November 21, 2024 will go down in the annals of the contemporary history of Paris Saint-Germain with the official inauguration of the PSG Campus. The opportunity for President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi to confirm the club's decision to leave the Parc des Princes and Paris due to the reluctance of the town hall to sell the venue. An outcome that Rachida Dati refuses to see materialize.
Nasser Al–Khelaïfi appeared to be determined not to turn back any further. For many months now, the president of PSG vocalizes his desire to do Princes Park the property of the capital club and to no longer rent the legendary enclosure to the Paris Town Hall. However, the Mayor Anne Hidalgo strongly opposed it and pushed the boss of the PSG to pack his bags.
“We need to build quickly”
On RMC, Nasser Al–Khelaïfi did not deliver a facade speech on the situation in which the PSG is currently located. “We're going to leave. We have no choice. The city leaves us no choice. We need a stadium in 3 or 4 years. We don't have time to wait (the municipal elections) otherwise we are behind other clubs in Europe. We need to build quickly”.
Rachida Data is Mayor of the 7th arrondissement of Paris. The former member of the government of Nicolas Sarkozy and Minister of Justice is clearly not on the same wavelength asAnne Hidalgo. She is also an opponent for the Paris Town Hall on the sidelines of the 2026 municipal elections. Present at the inauguration of the Campus PSG in Poissy on Thursday evening alongside Novak Djokovic and the president of the Parisian club Nasser Al–Khelaïfi, Data indirectly sent a message to the Mayor of Paris concerning her firm position on the sale of the Princes Park to the leaders of the Paris Saint–Germain.
“The Parisian club has one of the most innovative centers in the world. PSG must stay in Paris”
« PSG today inaugurated its new training center in Poissy. With 59 hectares and 150,000 m2 of space dedicated to outdoor training, the Parisian club has one of the most innovative centers in the world. PSG must stay in Paris. Well done ! ». published Rachida Dati on his personal account X. However, in view of the new declarations of Nasser Al–Khelaïfi on RMC this week, it seems that it is too late and that the departure of PSG from Park princes is now inevitable.
