In parallel with the presentation of Luis Enrique at PSG, the soap opera of the sale of the Parc des Princes has returned to the table. Nasser Al-Khelaifi has not digested the attitude of the town hall of Paris which, according to him, hinders the progress of PSG in Europe.

Showing the muscles and cleaning up the files, such was the PSG program this Wednesday in Poissy. The Parisian club was able to present its new and magnificent training center as well as its ambitious new coach Luis Enrique. In terms of black spots, Nasser Al-Khelaifi was just as transparent. In front of the media, he looked into the future of Kylian Mbappé but also on the question of the stadium. The PSG has wanted to buy the Parc des Princes for several months but the town hall of Paris is intransigent on an agreement and on a price. The Parisian club had to position itself on the Stade de France and is also thinking of building another enclosure.

Anne Hidalgo declared enemy of PSG?

Two plans B but above all two means of pressure on the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo. PSG needs to own and expand its stadium to face European competition. A problem still addressed this Wednesday by the Parisian president, who did not fail to complain about the attitude of the municipality. For him, the firmness of Anne Hidalgo is incomprehensible and almost akin to a sabotage of the ambitions of PSG.

Investors, their obsession is the stadium. Everywhere you go, all the big clubs own their stadiums. (…) The mayor has my number. I would love to meet her anytime. (…) The mayor of Paris literally blocks investments in PSG “, he dropped in particular at the microphone of the journalists present. Like the Mbappé case, Nasser Al-Khelaifi once again shows that PSG is annoyed at not having the last word on a file like that of the stadium. An outing that will reassure Parisian supporters, who understand that PSG’s priority is to have the Parc des Princes and not the Stade de France.
