Paris Saint-Germain has threatened to leave the Parc des Princes stadium, which has been their home for nearly 50 years after city officials refused to sell it to the club.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo stated on Sunday that the stadium “is not for sale” and “will not be sold” to Qatari-owned PSG.
“The mayor is forcing PSG to leave its home,” the spokesperson said. “Everyone loses in the position taken by the mayor. PSG is now forced to find alternative options to relocate the club. This is not the outcome the club, nor its supporters, were hoping for.”
PSG reportedly made an offer to buy the club last year. The club has also made the purchase of the ground in the city’s leafy western suburbs a condition for carrying out 500 million euro ($542 million) in modernization and expansion works.
