Seen and read about PSG in the French press this Friday January 10, 2025. Why the Kvaratskhelia track warmed up, the future PSG stadium in Massy? PSG’s difficulty in finding its new speaker…
In today’s edition, The Team evokes the flashback in the file Khvitcha Kvaratskhelia. Already tracked last summer, this file came back into the news of the Rouge & Bleu yesterday. “ It is not yet known whether the capital club will be able to achieve its objectives on the transfer market this winter, but its managers are continuing their work behind the scenes to try to bring in Kvaratskhelia. » Luis Campos is a big fan of the player, as is Luis Enrique which has, for a long time, validated this arrival, which, even if it were to quickly materialize, would not allow the player to be aligned in Champions League with the PSG against Manchester City (January 22) and Stuttgart (the 29th), advances the sports daily. The latter indicates that the Georgian international is close to reaching an agreement with the PSG for a future contract. “ In any case, the
PSG will continue to be active until next summer, as for Mohamed Salahat the end of the contract Liverpool. By bringing in the winger from
Naples, Luis Enrique wishes to bring significant competition to Bradley
Barcola and to Désiré Douéthe two left wingers, while giving the former Rennais the possibility of playing more often in midfield. »
Paris believes in it this winter. For several days, contacts have been constant and influential intermediaries on the market have been trying to find a solution to see the file move forward. Some sources mention the presence of the Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes on the Parisian side to succeed in getting the Georgian out of the Serie A. In the exchanges, there is a huge difference compared to last summer: the Neapolitan leaders are not closed to a sale of the player, under contract until 2027, launches
The Team. « Prices vary depending on the source, ranging from €70 to €90 million requested by the Italians. A sum which is not prohibitive for the Parisian club, especially if Randal Cole Muani frees up a little payroll and brings in some money, even next summer. As Luis Campos is used to it in negotiations, it is not impossible to see Paris offer players to be included in the transfer to lower the bill a little. Three male candidates at the start are likely to be of interest
Naples : Randal Kolo Muani, Milan Skriniar et Marco Asensio. » But the PSG should face strong competition fromEngland. Several intermediaries have been mandated to work in this market. First there is Manchester United but also
Newcastle and to a lesser extent
Chelseaconcludes The Team.
In today’s edition, The Parisian
returns to the file of the possible future stadium of
PSG. According to information from the Ile-de-France daily, Victoriano Melerogeneral director of PSGet Nicolas Ramillonresponsible for the club’s real estate sector, traveled to
Massy to visit areas likely to host their future stadium. “ Two sectors of the city would even be expected. Agricultural land in the ZAC de la Bonde, mainly in the commune Massy and on those of Champlan and Chilly-Mazarinlocated 17 km southwest of Paris. The site covers 72 ha, including a ZAC of around thirty hectares. Right next door is another 20 ha space, currently occupied by the Tuileries commercial zone, in complete decline, apart from the recent takeover of the Cora by Carrefour, and affected by a requalification project estimated at between 100 and 200 million euros. Contacts have even already been established with the Carrefour group. » Requested, the mayor (UDI) of
Massy Nicolas Samsoen declines to comment. Same for the region, says The Parisian. The latter indicates that these “ two plots benefit from a strategic position close to different road axes (such as the A10 and the A6, the N 20, the N 188) and railway with the Massy-Palaiseau station, served by the TGV as well as the RER B and C and the brand new T12 tram line. It will also benefit from the proximity of the future “Massy Opéra” station of line 18 of the Grand Paris Express planned for 2026-2027.. » The accessibility of the site is certainly a strong point for the managers of the
PSG which make it, along with location, one of the number one criteria. And this, even if the distance which separates
Massy of Campus PSG of
Poissy is 40 km, analysis The Parisian. « But there is a big obstacle. A civil aviation radar is installed in the ZAC de la Bonde sector. It is used to guide planes landing and taking off on the runways ofOrly. This easement prohibits any construction of a building with a height greater than 40 m, which poses a problem for a sports venue.. » The leaders of PSG would therefore have been redirected towards the Tuileries area, close to La Bonde. Advantage: it is a commercial wasteland, so it avoids the need to waterproof and concrete the land. At this stage, no hypothesis can be excluded. Because leaders know that the process will be long, complex and will inevitably give rise to opposition and appeals. Which explains why their evaluations remain secret. Making an emergency decision on a project that will commit the club for more than fifty years could quickly turn into an industrial disaster, concludes The Parisian.

The Ile-de-France daily also mentions the succession of Michel Montanawho left his post as speaker of the PSG last summer. Since the start of the season, the capital club has tested several people (Miguel Derennes, Hervé Kohler, Jean-Luc Guizonne et Grégoire Godefroy).
« A turnover that meets the wishes of the
PSG to multiply the tests and see different profiles at work capable of familiarizing themselves with a function that is not always easy to understand, before deciding. »
The Parisian indicates that the PSG will continue its investigations in 2025. For the first two matches of the new year at Princes Parkagainst Saint-Etienne Sunday and
Manchester City on the 22nd, the Rouge & Bleu will give a new opportunity to Grégoire Godefroy. The imprint left by Michel
Montana remains strong and the question of his replacement is an important subject in the eyes of the club’s decision-makers, launches the Ile-de-France daily. “ If he did not wish to be consulted by the club during this search process and does not wish to return to Princes Park until his successor has been appointed, Michel Montana However, keep a close eye on this matter.. » The Parisian explains that the PSG is well aware that it is difficult to find his replacement, and recognizes that people capable of donning this costume are not common in the streets. “ The fact of entrusting the animation for two more meetings to Grégoire Godefroy
certainly demonstrates the degree of satisfaction generated by this experience, but management will be keen to see new profiles at work in the weeks to come. No deadline has been sete,” concludes The Parisian.
