The relationship between the leaders of PSG and the mayor of Paris will not improve. Against a background of disagreement around the enjoyment of the Parc des Princes, Anne Hidalgo, iquestioned on the antennas of RFI, maintained its position, Thursday, April 27. The mayor of Paris reaffirms that he does not want to sell the stadium to Paris Saint-Germain, even though the capital club has submitted its application for the takeover of the Stade de France, according to information from France Blue Paris.

“We had opened the door to the possibility of selling the stadium to our clubrecognizes the mayor of Paris. PSG have offered 38 million euros. I think ‘ridiculous’ is the right word. We said to ourselves that there was no longer any possible path. Let’s stop talking so we can’t come to an agreement.”

“You do not arrive with your bundles of millions and do not acquire any property”

The mayor of Paris went even further, a few months after the World Cup organized in Qatar, which had built six new enclosures for the occasion: “We are in a state of law, with us the stadiums do not grow like mushrooms. You do not arrive with your bundles of millions and do not become a buyer of any property, for any condition.”

The Stade de France hypothesis, a bluff?

However, Anne Hidalgo claims not to imagine the future of PSG far from the Parc des Princes: “I think they won’t leave, firstly because the same rules of the rule of law also apply to the state. It’s very complicated to give up a stadium. THE process in which the club is committed to acquire the Stade de France is not at the end of the term. There may be a bit of bluffing or misunderstanding of what our democratic rules are.” And remember the risk of being accused “to despoil Parisians by selling a property at a price that would not be his”.

Bluff or real desire to leave, Paris Saint-Germain had until Thursday, 12 p.m., to position itself on the takeover of the Stade de France.
