During the broadcast Rothen ignites on RMC, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of Paris Saint-Germain, once again expressed his firm desire to leave the Parc des Princes to build a new stadium. The Qatari leader spoke of a vital necessity: “All the major European clubs have stadiums that can accommodate 80,000 to 100,000 spectators. If we don’t follow this path, we are dead. »
This decision stems from the refusal of Paris City Hall to sell the current enclosure, forcing PSG to consider a new construction to meet its European and financial ambitions. Despite his attachment to the Park, Al-Khelaïfi points to a lack of capacity and modern infrastructure. He promises a new stadium within 3 to 4 years to guarantee the sustainability of the Parisian project.
Criticisms on the feasibility of the project
Daniel Riolo, speaking in After Foot on RMC, questioned the Parisian president’s statements: “It’s not a question of life and death. The problem is his quarrel with the Town Hall and his pressure strategy. Building a stadium 20-30 kilometers from Paris, without adequate infrastructure, is not easy. » It also raised doubts about PSG’s ability to fill a larger venue, especially in a context of less star-centered sports policy.
The plan to leave the Parc des Princes therefore remains a controversial decision, pitting the club’s economic ambitions against the loyalty of supporters to its historic stadium.
