Nicolas Sarkozy Claims He’s the “Real President” of PSG
Nicolas Sarkozy, the former president of France, has once again stirred the media with his bold claim about Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Known for his deep love of the club, Sarkozy has long been an ardent supporter, attending numerous matches and even occasionally making headlines for his involvement with PSG. However, in a recent revelation, he has gone a step further, reportedly declaring himself the true president of the Parisian club.
According to L’Express, Sarkozy made this statement to a group of elected officials during a recent meeting: “Journalists often ask me if I want to become president of PSG. But the guys don’t understand: I’m already president of PSG! They just have to come and see at the Parc. Nasser systematically places me next to him, right next to the president of the opposing club. The real president of PSG is me!”
Sarkozy’s comments raise eyebrows, especially given his long-standing connection to PSG and its Qatari ownership. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the current president of the club, has led PSG through a period of unprecedented success, including multiple Ligue 1 titles and Champions League campaigns. However, Sarkozy’s playful declaration suggests that, despite Al-Khelaïfi’s official role, he sees himself as the club’s true figurehead, with the Qatari president merely acting as a figurehead in his view.
While it’s clear Sarkozy is speaking in jest, his frequent presence at PSG matches and close relationship with Al-Khelaïfi only fuel the speculation. His remarks, though tongue-in-cheek, highlight the former French president’s passion for the club and his desire to be associated with its success. Given his influential political background and media-savvy persona, Sarkozy has never been shy about courting the spotlight—especially when it involves his beloved PSG.
Whether or not he’s serious about becoming the president of PSG one day remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: Sarkozy’s connection to the club remains strong, and his presence at the Parc des Princes is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
