a crazy announcement from Al-Khelaifi for the stadium?

This is a subject that has come up since Qatar bought Paris Saint-Germain at the turn of the 2010s. To continue its expansion, the capital club needs a stadium larger than the Parc des Princes which does not exceed not the 50,000 places. Two solutions are available to managers: buy the enclosure to expand it, but the Town Hall has been firmly opposed to this for years, or build a new enclosure, but the places mentioned so far all have significant constraints. The situation seems completely blocked, but yesterday, on the airwaves of RMC SportNasser Al-Khelaïfi nevertheless made an announcement that was surprising to say the least.

“We need a stadium ready in 3-4 years”

He actually explained that he wanted to have a new stadium within… three to four years: “I really like the Park, everyone loves it. If I listen to my heart, we're not leaving . But if I listen to my head… Everyone in Europe has stadiums of 100,000, 80,000, 90,000 seats… We need it, otherwise we are dead. of death? Yes. Today we are in France, but also in Europe. We play the Champions League every year. If we want to be at the level of other clubs, financially, for our supporters, we need to expand the stadium here. , it's impossible to buy this stadium, we have no other solution (… For us, we have a challenge, we need a stadium ready in 3-4 years, that's it). what we really want We have no time to waste, otherwise we. will be behind other clubs in Europe. We need to make a decision, to build as quickly as possible. A surprising release to say the least when we look at the construction times of other stadiums in Europe which rarely take less than seven years.
