Overview
- Mayor Emmanuel Grégoire said Monday he has relaunched talks with PSG and wants to close the discussions by the end of the summer.
- He will seek a mid-April mandate from the Conseil de Paris to negotiate either a long-term lease or a sale with strict conditions.
- PSG is waiting for feasibility studies due in the autumn for alternative sites in Massy and Poissy, which Le Parisien reports undercuts the chance of a deal this summer.
- Grégoire said all sale proceeds would fund new sports facilities and green spaces, and any sale could include a city buy-back right and heritage safeguards for the stadium.
- Opposition within the city majority, the club’s lease that runs to 2044, and disputes over price and area upgrades near the ground remain key hurdles to an agreement.
