Just out of prison, Nicolas Sarkozy is facing an embarrassing situation… even at PSG. The former president, accustomed to his VIP seat next to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, is no longer certain he can return to Parc des Princes.
What if PSG were forced to ban Nicolas Sarkozy from Parc des Princes? The issue is simple: PSG does not want to associate its image with a convicted man, even if he is a close friend of the club’s president, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
Nicolas Sarkozy is a true VIP at the Parc and had a permanent invitation, a rare privilege, before going to prison. However, his return to the stands would pose a real media risk today, as it could be interpreted as a sign of support.
Moreover, his judicial control complicates matters. Sarkozy might even decide on his own to stay away from the Parc to avoid a scandal.
The PSG Must Protect Its Image
As a result, PSG is torn between loyalty and protecting its image. The situation is explosive… and sidelining Nicolas Sarkozy is no longer out of the question. But as the political animal he is, one can imagine he will decide not to come on his own.
