British media: Paris plans to leave the PARC des Princes and build a modern top-level new home ground【KUI】

Paris Saint-Germain is planning to move out of PARC des Princes to build a brand-new modern football stadium. The new stadium is expected to accommodate 90,000 spectators and is located on the outskirts of Paris.

At present, Paris Saint-Germain does not own the property rights of the PARC des Princes Stadium. Instead, it leases the stadium from the Paris municipal government at an annual cost of approximately 1.5 million pounds. Therefore, whether it is expansion or renovation, whatever the club wants to do has to be at the mercy of the municipal government.

The club's Qatari investors said that due to the team's success both on and off the field, the existing stadium can no longer meet the growing demand of fans for watching the games.

In recent years, Paris Saint-Germain has invested approximately 70 million pounds in renovating the PARC des Princes Stadium and proposed to pay 370 million pounds for a comprehensive expansion, provided that the Paris city government is willing to sell the stadium and the land. However, the proposal was rejected by the Paris city government. As a result, the club's top management is considering building a new stadium in the suburbs of Paris and has inspected several potential locations.

One of them is located in Massy, a suburb in the south of Paris, and the other is close to Poissy, the training base of the club. The construction of a new stadium may cost as much as one billion pounds.

However, the plan to move out of the PARC des Princes Stadium has also aroused dissatisfaction among some Paris fans, especially those who live in the city center.

The PARC des Princes Stadium has been the home ground of PSG since 1974. It has given birth to countless classic scenes and memories, such as Ronaldinho, Zidane, Messi, Neymar, Ibrahimovi ć... It is the emotional home of many Paris fans.

The extreme fan group of Paris Saint-Germain has been opposing the club's departure from the PARC des Princes and has pleaded with Qatari investors to find a solution.

Despite this, Qatari investors still insist on the relocation plan. They believe that as European giants, they should have their own modern top-level stadiums, just like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Bayern Munich, which can greatly increase the club's revenue and operational autonomy. To become a top European club in the future, having its own top-level stadium is a necessary step.

However, the difficulty of building a new stadium is also considerable, as it involves numerous aspects such as site selection, planning, transportation, construction of supporting facilities, and sensitivity to ticket prices.
