Paris Saint-Germain have taken a significant step towards securing the long-term future of the Parc des Princes after fresh talks over the stadium's ownership and redevelopment.
The Ligue 1 champions are now reportedly ‘closer than ever' to purchasing their historic home, with ambitious expansion plans also under discussion.
PSG given boost to hopes of purchasing Parc des Princes site
PSG's long-running bid to buy the Parc des Princes has gathered fresh momentum after the club held its first steering committee meeting with the City of Paris.
The discussions are seen as a major breakthrough in negotiations that have dragged on for several years, with both parties now examining proposals that could allow the Champions of Europe to remain at the stadium for decades to come.
During the meeting, club officials presented several redevelopment options that would transform the Parc des Princes into one of Europe's biggest football venues.

The plans would see capacity increase from around 48,000 to either 60,000 or potentially 70,000 seats through a major expansion and modernisation project.
No final decision has been made, with technical studies now set to assess whether such extensive redevelopment is possible given the architectural and urban planning constraints surrounding the stadium.
Despite those challenges, PSG remain committed to purchasing the site, believing ownership is essential if they are to invest fully in the stadium and continue competing with Europe's elite clubs on and off the pitch.
FGG says: Positive signs after many years of uncertainty
For PSG supporters, this is undoubtedly the most encouraging update in what has become a lengthy stadium saga.
While there is still plenty of work to do before any agreement is finalised, meaningful discussions over ownership and expansion are a positive step forward.
If the project proves feasible, it would allow one of Europe's most iconic stadiums to evolve rather than be replaced, preserving its history while significantly improving the matchday experience for future generations of fans.
