While L'Equipe wrote this morning that the Emir of Qatar could sell PSG in the event of a good offer, a spokesperson for QSI firmly denied this information and recalled Qatar's past and future massive investments in PSG.
In addition to an article devoted to the supposed sporting and economic decline of PSG, L'Equipe mentioned in its today's edition a supposed growing disinterest of the Qatari majority shareholder QSI for PSG. A detachment that the sports daily links to the end of the 2022 World Cup and which would result in a reduction in sail in terms of investment.
If L'Equipe specified in its edition of the day that this did not mean that Qatar was considering withdrawing from PSG, the sports daily added that “certain sources close to power circles in Doha assure that the emir would be a seller in the event of a good offer”. A little sentence that has obviously made noise since this morning.
PSG for sale? “It’s completely false” replies QSI
The response to this L'Equipe article was significant enough for QSI to respond sharply to the newspaper and firmly deny any intention of selling PSG: “It’s completely false, the same newspaper writes the same complete nonsense week after week”a QSI spokesperson told English journalist Ben Jacobs.
This same QSI spokesperson then recalled the recent investments of the Qatari shareholder and those planned for the future: “Shareholders have just spent €350 million on Poissy, with other major expansions to the Campus just announced, and are looking to invest hundreds of millions in a new stadium, while increasing our investment in football , sports and entertainment, but apparently we are looking to sell. »
