The Paris town hall, owner of the Parc des princes, “leave us no choice” to leave the stadium, said PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi on Thursday, wanting “build as quickly as possible” a new enclosure.
“Build as quickly as possible”
“I really like the Park, everyone loves it. If I listen to my heart, we’re not leaving. But everyone in Europe has stadiums with 80,000, 90,000 seats… We need them, otherwise we are dead”declared the Qatari leader on RMC radio on the occasion of the official inauguration of the training center in Poissy (Yvelines). “We are in France, but also in Europe. The city leaves us no choice”he insisted, while the Park has a capacity of 48,000 places.
“I don’t do politics. For us, we need a stadium ready in 3-4 years, we have no time to lose, otherwise we are behind other clubs in Europe. We need to build as quickly as possible”supported the president of PSG, evoking “some options”.
Among these four hypotheses for building an enclosure with around 60,000 seats, there is the site of the Saint-Cloud racecourse and Montigny-le-Bretonneux (Yvelines), according to a source close to the matter, who added that the city d’Aulnay sous-Bois was always interested in hosting the future stadium. The club should decide by the end of the first half of 2025, this source said.
