Le Parisien reports that PSG, despite being linked with the iconic stadium, chose not to submit a bid before the recent deadline. The twist in the tale is attributed to a contractual hurdle – any potential buyer of the Stade de France must prioritize usage for the French Football Association (FFF) and the French Rugby Association (FFR), making a PSG bid unlikely from the start.
