PSG, the huge announcement!

While there was once talk of a move to the Stade de France, PSG seems to have given up on the Saint-Denis venue and is ready to resume discussions with the city of Paris for the Parc des Princes.

The soap opera surrounding the future PSG stadium has experienced a new twist. Despite its complicated relations with the Paris town hall, the capital club is working on the renovation of the Parc des Princes, with a capacity increased to 60,000 places and a retractable roof and lawn. And to believe The Team, the French champions would be ready to resume discussions with the Paris town hall in order to convince it to cede the stadium to them, even if it means paying the price. At least much more than the 40 million euros proposed a year ago. A prospect that fills Parisian supporters, very attached to the Parc des Princes, with ease.

“It wasn’t really a topic in the news anymore and then this weekend the news broke, said Daniel Riolo at the microphone of RMC. This will sound like a huge relief. My opinion could stop at the end of this sentence because it is so important: PSG will never go to the Stade de France! »

“They stopped being interested in it for economic reasons: the cost of the purchase was too high, 600 million euros and it also takes half of this sum to bring it up to standard, to have a functional stadium for a club which would play every fortnight, he added. We have to redo everything in terms of hospitality. There is the obsolescence of the fire system. This is already excellent news since PSG at the Stade de France is no longer called PSG. He would have denied his story. »

And the polemicist continues by indicating that two avenues are currently being studied. “Discussions will resume for the work at the Parc des Princes, transformations which would increase the capacity, he confirmed. We also think about activities near the Park. A whole plot of land could interest PSG in purchasing, when you leave the Boulogne stand and go towards the ring road where there is the Total station. It would look like a sort of large Parc des Princes estate. The idea of ​​buying a racecourse in Saint-Cloud or Auteuil where this kind of thing could come back to the table. There, it would be a real move where you would go and build a new stadium. »
