A few weeks after announcing, through its president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, its desire to leave the Parc des Princes for lack of being able to buy the enclosure from Paris town hall, Paris Saint-Germain put itself “in order walk to find land on which to build a new stadium,” revealed Le Parisien this Friday.
More concretely, the general secretary of the Parisian club Victoriano Melero sent a letter to the president of the commission of inquiry for the environmental master plan of the Île de France region (SDRIF-E) – which determines “the development of the territory from here to 2040 for the 12 million Ile-de-France residents who live there” – to ask “to protect within the SDRIF-E an area of 50 ha likely to accommodate the construction of a stadium to match the XXL ambitions of PSG”, assures The Parisian who was able to read it. Proof that Parisian leaders have accelerated their construction project. “The final adoption of this SDRIF-E by regional elected officials will take place this summer, before being finally submitted for approval to the Council of State,” our colleagues specify.
