As part of its expansion plans, Paris Saint-Germain was supposed to leave the Parc des Princes in order to build its own stadium. But changes at Paris City Hall have upended those plans. Indeed, Emmanuel Grégoire, the new mayor of the French capital, told RMC Sport that he wants to make the necessary efforts to keep PSG at the Parc des Princes.
“There is a 99.9% chance that PSG will stay at the Parc des Princes. I am ready to make the effort for that. It can be a win-win agreement. The club has enjoyed immense sporting success, and it is seeking to strengthen its position economically, including in an international image competition. I very much want PSG to stay at the Parc des Princes. It would be a shame if it left. I will do everything I can to make sure we get there.
I think we have resumed talks on a very solid footing. I am very respectful of the club’s expectations in terms of sporting and economic development. And I am the guarantor of defending the interests of Parisians, which I assess through negotiations with PSG, but more broadly in terms of the place of professional sport and the way it can help amateur sport develop in Paris. If all the conditions are met, I am reasonably very optimistic.
We share the same vision: we want to be able to offer PSG a setting worthy of its new global standing in football. There is a need to modernize and increase capacity. It must also be a project that is beneficial from an urban standpoint. Around the Parc des Princes, it is somewhat unwelcoming. We want to take this opportunity to turn it into a true destination for leisure and sport.
At last, the discussions seem open and coherent regarding the Parc des Princes, as well as PSG’s desire to own it. As the iconic home of the Red-and-Blue club, it was difficult for supporters to imagine their club anywhere other than in this stadium. Unfortunately, there was also a certain understanding, since PSG cannot afford to remain in a stadium of this size.
Every match is played to a sold-out crowd, and it is clear that with 10,000, 15,000, or 20,000 additional seats, the capital club would significantly increase its revenue. The talks should therefore move in the right direction over the coming weeks, with, hopefully, an agreement at the end of them.
Expanding the Parc des Princes and making PSG its owner would satisfy the various parties involved, both within the club and at Paris City Hall.
