PSG Nears Verdict on Paris, Poissy or Massy Stadium Site
Paris Saint-Germain are approaching a decision on the site of their next stadium, with a final meeting involving Paris, Poissy and Massy expected to bring a four-year process into its decisive stage.

| Candidate locations | 3 | Paris, Poissy and Massy remain under consideration. |
| Proposed capacity | 70,000 | Concept for an expanded Parc des Princes redevelopment. |
| Estimated total cost | €2 billion | Would cover purchase, construction and surrounding works. |
| Project timeline | Four years | PSG first raised the prospect of a new major stadium four years ago. |
The club is expected to reveal its preferred option after the meeting, ending a prolonged debate over whether to remain at the Parc des Princes or move beyond the city limits. PSG had indicated around this point last year that a firm conclusion would be reached, but the stadium dossier has continued.
Staying at the Parc remains the favoured outcome among much of the support, and Nasser Al-Khelaifi has repeatedly sought a permanent acquisition of the ground from the City of Paris. PSG’s ownership wants not merely to retain the historic stadium but to enlarge and modernise it within a wider club-focused development.
Negotiations have been complicated by the proposed sale price, the scale of the building programme and the eventual cost of reshaping the surrounding area. Although the municipality had initially rejected an outright sale, there remains the prospect of a deal that would keep PSG in their present home. City Hall has indicated that talks are progressing positively.
A 70,000-seat Parc vision
Architects are preparing plans based on a 70,000-capacity stadium. A central element would be the covering of the nearby ring road, creating a substantial public esplanade between Porte d’Auteuil and Porte de Saint-Cloud.
The proposed precinct would include club facilities, a museum, the official store and sporting spaces, with padel courts also part of the concept. The full scheme, including the stadium purchase, redevelopment work and associated urban transformation, is projected to cost about €2 billion.
Poissy and Massy remain viable alternatives should PSG and the city fail to reach final terms over the Parc des Princes. Each suburban proposal offers potential benefits and drawbacks for the club, but the outcome is likely to hinge on whether Paris agrees to a permanent sale of the stadium.
