Résumé. The rag is burning between PSG and the town hall of Paris. At the heart of the dispute: the Parc des Princes, the club’s emblematic stadium since 1974, located at the Porte de Saint-Cloud in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. Since November, its president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has been threatening to no longer rent the building to the city, and to take up residence in another stadium.

The club leaders have long wanted to own this stadium, both for the image, and to give scale to an arena which remains for the moment half the size of the Camp Nou. But the tensions with the municipality are such that the hypothesis of a sale was swept away by the mayor Anne Hidalgo, who affirmed in January to the Parisian that the Parc des Princes “is not for sale”.

We take stock in Code source David Opoczynski, journalist at the sports department of Le Parisien, and Florent Hélaine, head of the Paris edition.
