Paris Saint-Germain will probably say goodbye to the Parc des Princes! While Parisian leaders and its supporters wish to stay in the stadium located in Porte de Saint-Cloud by enlarging it, the town hall of Paris, which owns the building, is not of the same opinion. As we know, the Qataris have always wished to buy the Parc des Princes to be able to do work and enlarge it. Indeed, the 48,583 places in the Parisian arena are no longer enough for Parisian supporters. With this in mind, the leaders of PSG had pronounced in 2022 their desire to buy the stadium but the town hall of Paris had firmly opposed it. Anne Hidalgo also reiterated her refusal at the start of the year: “We will not sell the Parc des Princes because it is the heritage of Parisians and Parisians ».
Faced with this refusal, PSG could be obliged to leave the premises for the benefit of Paris FC! Indeed, Daniel Riolo said this Thursday evening in theAfter Foot that the Paris town hall had already started discussions with the current Ligue 2 club to become the next tenant of the Parc des Princes: “ The discussions already exist so that Paris FC goes to the park. What would have a historical meaning, because after all, the PFC and PSG was one in 1970. So it is not shocking, it is not as if Racing or the Red Star is going there. So the Paris town hall will have its club. And LVMH, especially Antoine Arnault, is very coof this situation. These are discussions that have existed at the political level in recent weeks. ”
PSG soon in Ris-Orangis?
If Paris FC takes over the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain will have to move away from the center of Paris to see its new stadium of 70,000 places see the light of day. The city of Ris-Orangis would have good arguments to convince Parisian leaders. In its application file consulted by RMC Sport, the City indicates that it is ready to put a land of 97 hectares available to Nasser El Khelaïfi: “ These 97 hectares are carried by the public land establishment of Ile de France (EPFIF) on behalf of the community of agglomeration Grand Paris Sud – Seine Essonne Sénart. This total mastery by the public powers reduces the time to carry out the project envisaged and secures the process in relation to expropriations or even amicable acquisitions always uncertain ».
Although Ris-Orangis is 25 kilometers from Paris, the area is well served by RER and trams lines as well as by the national 7 thus giving the city a major advantage: “The proposed land is 25 kilometers from the doors of Paris, at the northern entrance to the Grand Paris Sud agglomeration». The City Suity south of Paris also claims to be ready to finish the construction of the new stadium before 2030, in five years, a period more than acceptable for the construction of a building of more than 60,000 places.
