PARIS (Reuters) - Paris St Germain will submit a bid for the country's largest stadium, the Stade de France, the Ligue 1 champions said on Friday as they look to move from their Parc des Princes home.
Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo said the Parc des Princes was not for sale which prompted PSG to say in January that they would explore"alternative options" for their home stadium.
In 2013, PSG reached an agreement with the Paris City Council to extend their lease until 2043, following which they completed a 75 million euros upgrade of the stadium over three years. The lease for the Stade de France is held by a consortium of the French companies Vinci and Bouygues with any buyout of the stadium set to take place after 2025.
