Nasser Al-Khelaifi caused a sensation on Thursday by announcing the upcoming departure of PSG from the Parc des Princes. A real threat for some, an additional bluff for others. Jérôme Rothen affirms that the Parisian plan is very solid.
PSG outside the Parc des Princes has become the sea serpent of recent months. In conflict with the Paris town hall, the Parisian club threatens to move to the suburbs to finally possess the venue worthy of its ambitions. The press regularly reports on candidate cities to host the future PSG stadium or the number of seats desired by Parisians. However, no project has been made official. Enough to make Nasser Al-Khelaifi's detractors say that the latter is bluffing to push Paris City Hall to sell the Parc des Princes to PSG. Thursday evening, the Parisian president put a coin back into the machine.
The new stadium for 2031
Sometimes ambiguous on the question, Nasser Al-Khelaifi was clear on RMC: PSG will quickly build its new stadium. If some Parisian supporters were upset by the news, a large number of observers remained skeptical. Jérôme Rothen is now trying to convince them. In his show Rothen s'enflame, he adopted a serious tone to confirm the words of the Parisian president. Yes, PSG will leave the Parc for a new stadium. The former environment even gives the date on which the project should be completed: 2031.
« In 3-4 years, construction should already be well advanced but they are giving themselves about 7 years. 7 years for the club to have a new stadium. For now, we're going with this profile. It will settle. It will take 7 years, Nasser Al-Khelaifi is aware of this, to have a new stadium with a large capacity. It’s clear, it was confirmed to me again today. In no case did Nasser come to sell us dreams or try to put some pressure on “, he revealed on RMC. It now remains to know the exact location of this new enclosure to move from simple theory to a real change of era at PSG.
