Nasser Al-Khelaifi insists PSG will be leaving Parc des Princes
As per the earlier reports, the French club PSG has made several attempts to buy out their current matchday venue, Parc des Princes, from its respectable owners. But, even after initial talks were initiated, the club’s hierarchy has struggled to mark down a final deal to acquire the historical stadium.
The Ligue 1 club’s president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, had made it quite clear regarding PSG’s current situation regarding Parc des Princes. The 50-year-old reportedly inserted, “We know what we want, we wasted years to try and buy it (Parc des Princes)”. From his words, it seems like the club has given up on their hopes of buying out the stadium.

In his statement, Nasser further asserted, “It’s over for us. We want to move out of the Parc”. PSG first played at Parc des Princes in November 1973. It’s been almost 50 and a half years since Les Parisiens faced Red Star in a match that resulted in a victory for them at the iconic stadium.
PSG linked with Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford and AC Milam’s Rafael Leao
With PSG’s star winger, Kylian Mbappe, set to leave the club after the end of the 2023-2024 season of Ligue 1, the French giants have been linked with several players to acquire an adequate replacement for Mbappe. Reports have linked the Les Parisiens with probable transfer moves for AC Milan’s Rafael Leao and Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford.
However, PSG is reluctant to pursue its interest in Marcus Rashford, as the club wants assurance from the English player’s side that he believes in their project. On the contrary, reports suggest AC Milan is open to listening to the offers for Rafael Leao if the prices are right. How the French club will plan out the summer transfer window remains to be seen.
