But another topic is starting to stir the Qataris, and this time it concerns PSG. Qatar, who came to the capital in 2011, took the Paris club to another dimension by attracting the best players of the planet to its team (Messi, Neymar, Mbappe) while carrying out major internal changes, such as the construction of a large new training center in Puissy for 2023 or the replacement of the Parc de Princes shortly after the takeover.

They are pressuring us to leave “, was especially announced Nasser Al-Khelaifi in this week brand, will be enough to jump the mayor of Paris. ” To read that the city wants to “kick them out of the Park” is insulting “he replied Parisian Immanuel Gregoryfirst deputyAnne Hidalgo. “ The city has always been available to learn the best ways to support the development of this club. We had two options. Preferred by PSG, ie buy to invest. Another one the city likes to say is: since you’re going to invest, we’re willing to sign a lease with you for a very long time, which will certainly allow for the amortization of the investment. We were in the discussion stage. And there we saw these declarations. (…) We will wait for his return from Qatar and if he wants, we will continue the discussions. “, he noted Immanuel GregoryNot considering giving up the Parc des Princes, “ but at the right price. The tariff issue is a point of contention between the owners PSG and the town hall. ” PSG offers 40 million euros. Cheaper than Paredes. Frankly? !

If there is a problem, we talk face to face. Not in the newspaper. If I have a message, I make it live “.

We are not moving forward in discussions », hammers Nasser Al-Khelaifinow raising his voice against the city of Paris: We are nice people, but we are not stupid. We had a great time, now it’s over. They take advantage of our beauty. That’s enough! »

Nasser Al-Khelaifi. “ I can’t say where, but we could build a new stadium in Paris. ” Because Teamone of the tracks PSG in St. Cloud, on the site of the racetrack, and another in Puissy, where the construction of a future 74-acre training center is just nearing completion. PSG it feels good. ” Poissy has already demonstrated the ability to find solutions when others continue to talk about problemssaid this week Parisian Carl OliveDeputy mayor of the city located in Yvelines. So if we can help with all the institutional partners, we will be able to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity for the Yvelin region and the club! PSG deserves a stadium worthy of its name, just like Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. After the future training center, this is the next important step for the club to grow and win big competitions. The park becomes a very narrow environment, and the city of Paris is a mistake not to go in the direction of the club.
