“It’s too easy to say now that the stadium is not for sale anymore,” Al-Khelaifi told reporters at a UEFA Congress.

“We know what we want, we wasted years to try and buy it. It’s easier for us now, we know what we want. It’s over for us. We want to move out of the Parc.”
PSG said last year that they would explore alternatives after Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo said the stadium was not for sale — a position that City Hall confirmed on Tuesday.
“A sale is not desirable, because that would be a decision with no turning back,” Paris deputy mayor for sports Pierre Rabadan said on Tuesday

The Parc des Princes has been home to PSG since 1974, four years after the club was founded.
