In her speech of wishes for the year 2025, Anne Hidalgo repeated before the assembly of the Town Hall of the 4th arrondissement of Paris that the Princes Park will not be sold at
PSG. A statement which should reassure the Parisian leaders in their decision to leave the historic den of the club in the capital.
The story between PSG and the Princes Park is a real soap opera, with an announced ending. Indeed, on the one hand the Paris City Hall does not wish to sell the stadium to Paris Saint-Germainon the other hand the leaders of the capital club continue to repeat their need to own their own stadium. A traffic jam at the entrance to Princes Park which pushes decision-makers PSG to look into building a new den. According to the latest information, different sites stand out in Ile-de-France: Massy, Montigny-le-Bretonneux, Aulnay-sous-Bois, Poissy, Ris-Orangis, etc. While all of these sites have their pros and cons, the biggest speed bump the site will face is PSG is time. After the media release on the airwaves ofRMC of the president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi stating that he wanted to see the new stadium of the PSG
« within three or four years“, our colleagues from
Parisian assert that “ certain advisors of the
PSG almost strangled each other this evening last November“. Indeed, if the Qatari leader puts pressure on his teams and displays his ambitions and determination, the latter will not escape French administrative and legal deadlines. “ We have to be clear, everyone is excited about this new stadium but if they build it in less than ten years, it will be an achievement“, confides an elected official close to the matter in the columns of Parisian.

On the club side, there is no hurry: “ This is a very long-term project and we don't have a knife to our throat, we are at the
Princes Park until 2044 (date of the end of the long lease enjoyed by the club). There is no question of making a decision in a hurry. The stakes are too high, we can't afford to make a mistake. There are a lot of steps to take, we are moving forward slowly“. At this stage of the case, Victoriano Melero et Nicolas Ramillonrespectively general manager and director of real estate of PSGvisit the different sites, in order to present them to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi
during the year. If no option seems obvious at the moment, once the choice is made, the Paris Saint-Germain will embark on an escalation of stages. “ Once the land has been found, there will be four main steps to follow: planning, development, promotion then construction.“, explains the town planner
François Déalle-Facquez pour The Parisian. In addition to these four steps, appeals filed can also slow down the process: “ I faced 23 appeals from local residents. It took me over a year to blow them up“, declared a year ago Jacky Lorenzetti president of Racing 92 and owner La Defense Arena. « For a project of this scale, the list of possible recourses is potentially very long, we could spend the night there. First of all, there is everything that concerns ecology, but also what can impact the lives of local residents and their safety.” , explain François Déalle-Facquez. Once all these obstacles have been overcome, the building permit is issued by the town hall and the project can actually begin. If construction can take between three and four years, the hazards on the site can slow it down as was the case for the
Groupama Stadium of theOLfor which archaeological discoveries had caused a shutdown of several weeks.
Beyond the administrative and legal deadlines, the appeals and the site itself, the immensity of the project of the leaders of the
Paris Saint-Germain fact that the file is not ready to end, because in addition to a stadium of 60 to 90,000 seats, “ a hotel, restaurants, a megastore, a stadium for the women's team, a polyclinic » are in the plans according to The Parisianwhich reminds us that we are talking about a project worth more than a billion euros. If the latter will be exclusively financed by the Paris Saint-Germaincontroversies and appeals should not make Qatar's task easier on this issue.
