Resident club of the Parc des Princes since its creation in the 1970s, Paris Saint-Germain could soon leave its historic stadium. In any case, this is the announcement made by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi this Thursday evening.
Is the love story between the Parc des Princes and PSG about to end? In any case, it's the latest trend. In discussions with Paris City Hall for several months now to plan possible expansion work on the Parc des Princes, PSG no longer wants to be suspended from a political decision. It is for this reason that the club from the French capital, which believes it has reached its glass ceiling in a stadium which is not the most modern in Europe and which has no more than 50,000 seats, that Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is now threatening to leave the Parisian enclosure. In a long interview on RMC, on the sidelines of the presentation of the new training campus in Poissy, the Qatari leader actually dropped a bomb.
“We need to build the new stadium as quickly as possible”
“The stadium question? 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. A question of life or death? Yes. We are in France, but also in Europe. The city leaves us no choice. 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. What’s next? We have a few options. We need to build the new stadium as quickly as possible to be at the level we want”said Al-Khelaïfi in the show Rothen s’igne.
A statement which says a lot about PSG's desire to leave the Park in the years to come, with the project of building a new large stadium around Paris, in addition to the Stade de France. This announcement could in any case bring happiness to Paris FC, which is looking for the best possible stadium for its new project under the presidency of the Arnault family and Red Bull.
