Paris Mayor Emmanuel Grégoire estimates PSG have a ‘99.9%’ chance of staying at the Parc des Princes

Appearing as a guest on the programme Rothen s’enflamme, broadcast on RMC, the new Mayor of Paris, Emmanuel Grégoire, said he was ‘reasonably very optimistic’ about Paris Saint-Germain’s takeover of the Parc des Princes.

“It could be a win-win deal. The club is hugely successful on the pitch and is looking to consolidate its position financially, including in terms of its international image. I very much hope that PSG stays at the Parc des Princes. It would be a shame if they left. I will do everything I can to make it happen,” explained the 48-year-old politician, estimating the chances of reaching an agreement at “99.9%”. ‘I am prepared to make the necessary efforts to achieve this,’ concluded Grégoire.

Statements that come at a time when relations between the City of Paris and PSG are warming, with the club also stating that they are open to discussion. Left unresolved during the tenure of Anne Hidalgo, the former mayor of the French capital, the issue of selling the Parc des Princes to PSG should be debated shortly, with a decision from the club’s management hoped for and expected in autumn 2026.

Should negotiations break down, the possibility remains that Les Rouge et Bleu could set up base outside Paris, with both Poissy (Yvelines) and Massy (Essonne) having made their moves.
