This is a practical solution to the help of PSG in search of a new stadium. Faced with the refusal of the Paris town hall to sell them the Parc des Princes, located in the 16th arrondissement of the capital, the leaders of the Parisian club have been prospecting for several months to build a new enclosure elsewhere. And Stellantis proposed. Discussions exist.
The automotive group, fourth worldwide, said on Tuesday, on the occasion of an exceptional social and economic committee (CSE), be in talks with Paris Saint-Germain. The idea would be to sell the French champion of France for a part of their industrial site in Poissy, in the Yvelines, some barely 4 km from the training center inaugurated last year.
“” “If Stellantis offers us a very beautiful industrial project for its site at the Poissy factory, then the region will be favorable to what we can also have PSG on Poissy “, Commented Valérie Pécresse, the president of Île-de-France, this week on France Info.
The region would support the initiative provided that the automotive group ensures the economic future of the historic factory of Poissy, ex flagship of PSA (Peugeot-Citroën-Opel-Vauxhall).
An economic opportunity
“Given the very strong wave of deindustrialisation that the Seine Valley has known in recent years, also given the fact that the region will invest in a new transport line which is called Eole, we will invest billions of euros, I believe that this PSG project in Poissy, it makes sense”, continues Valérie Pécresse.
Seeing the PSG evolving outside the Parc des Princes is not at all accepted by the majority of supporters of the Red and Blue. For them, their team cannot play elsewhere than in Paris, Porte de Saint-Cloud. As is the case for half a century.
