“We’re going to leave. We have no choice. The city leaves us no choice.» Nasser Al-Khelaïfi took advantage of the inauguration of the PSG Campus yesterday to put pressure on Paris town hall regarding the Parc des Princes. This time, the Parisian president did not pull any punches by announcing purely and simply the departure of the club from its historic stadium for a new venue elsewhere than in Paris. “We need a stadium in 3 or 4 years. We don’t have time to wait (the municipal elections) otherwise we are behind other clubs in Europe. We need to build quickly» he explained yesterday on RMC.
This new declaration set fire to the powder among certain elected officials. Present in Poissy for the big evening organized by the club, the Minister of Culture Rachida Dati published a message on the X network where she reaffirms her desire to see PSG stay in the capital. “PSG today inaugurated its new training center in Poissy. With 59 hectares and 150,000 m2 of space dedicated to outdoor training, the Parisian club has one of the most innovative centers in the world. PSG must stay in Paris. Well done ! » Mayor of the 7th arrondissement of Paris, Rachida Dati is one of the main opponents of Anne Hidalgo, current city councilor, and one of the favorites for the 2026 municipal elections.
