Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) executives have made their intentions clear: This time, they mean business. The football club has said it is more determined than ever to leave the Parc des Princes, which it feels it has outgrown. After lengthy and unsuccessful talks with Paris City Hall regarding the purchase and expansion of its historic stadium, PSG broke off discussions in 2022 and has since declared its desire to look elsewhere. "It's over now, we want to move," said club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi two years later.
In recent months, PSG, owned by the investment fund Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), put its words into action. In June, fresh off its Champions League title, the club announced it had shortlisted the cities of Massy and Poissy – both in the Paris region – for in-depth feasibility studies with a view to building a new, larger and more modern stadium to match its sporting and economic ambitions. According to the club, the new ground would have a capacity of "60,000 to 90,000 seats," with 80,000 as the preferred scenario – much more than the Parc des Princes' 48,000.
