"We feel that 45,000 seats is not sufficient for Paris Saint-Germain. The next step is to see if technically an enlargement of the Parc des Princes is possible and whether this stadium can accommodate 55,000 or 60,000 seats," said Paris Saint-Germain's Chief Operating Officer, Jean-Claude Blanc, to NTF on the 20/12/2013.

In the summer of 2013 Paris Saint-Germain began the renovation of the Parc des Princes for a total amount of €75 million. "We are in a very urban environment, in a neighborhood that is changing a lot, this is why we wanted to renovate the stadium without affecting capacity. This will allow in particular the city of Paris and France to be ready for Euro 2016," said Jean-Claude Blanc.

The Chief Operating Officer of the club talks about his vision for the Parisian stadium, its evolution, as well as the construction of the future centre of PSG's life: "a major investment that will mark the future of the club for at least 30 years."
