A year ago, the owners of the Paris Saint-Germain club threatened the city hall of the French capital with moving from the Parc des Princes stadium. Although they had the opportunity to buy the Stade de France, the Sheikhs rejected the idea.

PSG can build a stadium with 70,000 seats

The Paris Saint-Germain club, in a dispute with the mayor of Paris, who does not want to sell the Parc des Princes stadium, refuses to submit an offer to buy or rent the Stade de France, where matches are held, in particular, with rugby. A source close to the case told AFP on Wednesday.

PSG’s owner, Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), which said months ago it was “seriously” looking into the case, did not submit an offer by Wednesday’s deadline.

The club, with new minority shareholder Arctos Partners, ultimately decided not to submit an offer to buy Stade de France, the source told AFP, saying the group’s management had explored the possibility but told management it was not. the best option

“Taking over SDF was not the right option for the club,” another source told AFP.

PSG says there are other “projects” to continue PSG’s “development”, including the construction of a new 70,000-seat stadium in Ile-de-France, according to Agerpres.

A year ago, the owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi threatened to move out of Parc des Princes if the city hall did not allow the stadium to be bought.
