Speaking on the sidelines of UEFA’s executive committee assembly in the French capital on Thursday, Al-Khelaifi said: “Now it’s up to us, we know what we want. It’s over for us. “
Formed in 1970, PSG play at the Parc des Princes two years later and have a long-term lease.
The club, owned by wealthy Qatari sponsor QSI, wanted to remain owner of the stadium but, after 8 years of talks, will have to look elsewhere after the Paris city council voted to verify that the Parc des Princes would not be sold.

In January, PSG announced it had invested more than 85 million euros ($92 million) in stadium maintenance costs. At the time, PSG said it pledged to invest an additional €500 million in renovations to be able to compete with other clubs at Europe’s highest point.
Instead, the club will focus on looking for a new home. The club did not give a deadline for his departure.
