The Spanish television program El Chiringuito assures on Monday that Qatar has decided to sell PSG after the 2022 World Cup. A rumor was brushed aside by the Paris club, which is suing RMC Sport for “false information from a cheap media”.
With a hand gesture. PSG quickly brushed aside the latest rumor from Spain on Monday evening. El Chiringuito announced through one of his columnists that Qatar has decided to sell the Paris club after the 2022 World Cup hosted on its territory (from November 21 to December 18). The TV show went so far as to say that “this PSG’s lifespan is now six months”.
“Information” denied to RMC Sport by the capital club, who “completely and categorically deny this false news”. “It’s no coincidence that it comes from cheap Spanish media,” the Ligue 1 leader jokes, even when talking about “fake”.
Real Madrid dreams of signing Mbappe
Accustomed to sensational firsts, and not always verified, El Chiringuito is a hybrid programme, between debates, news and entertainment, very popular on the other side of the Pyrenees. This trip to Qatar also comes as Real Madrid dreams of recruiting Kylian Mbappe this summer. Two and a half months after his contract in Paris ended, the Blues striker has still not announced his decision for the rest of his career.
After purchasing PSG in 2011, Qatar has invested heavily to make it one of the most important clubs in Europe. Big stars have been attracted, such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Edinson Cavani, David Beckham, Neymar, Lionel Messi or Sergio Ramos. On the national stage, Paris has won many awards over the past ten years (seven league titles, six Coupe de France, six Coupe de la Ligue and eight Trophée des champions).
On the other hand, the capital club has not yet succeeded in realizing its ‘big dream’, which is to cancel the Champions League. Marquinhos’ teammates played in the final in 2020 (1-0 defeat against Bayern Munich). In anticipation of the Grail, PSG has developed its brand and image internationally, in particular thanks to certain prestigious partnerships, such as the one with Jordan. Which makes up for some humiliating failures on the European stage, such as Karim Benzema’s recent elimination against Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the C1.
