For months, the future of the Parc des Princes has been at the heart of debate and tension. Paris Saint-Germain would like to extend it, but does not want to finance everything without being the owner. Paris City Council, for its part, is reluctant to pay and sell.

On Wednesday, Sandrine Gelot, departmental councillor for Essonne, invited PSG to come with some clear advantages.

“We want him to come to Essonne. The PSG project goes beyond a simple stadium. We have all the assets: the availability of land, all the transport infrastructures to guarantee a reliable, fast service from the capital.”
The arguments make sense, even if it’s logical to put yourself forward for such a project. At least PSG is listening. PSG is taking its time to choose, which is logical for a major decision. The project is huge, and the aim is to become a world-class club without abandoning the fans.
Essonne seems to have its say, but it’s not alone. The Yvelines region, which hosts the Poissy training center, is also involved in the project, and other candidates are still in the running. We’ll have to wait and see.
