PSG president Al-Khelaifi open to share sale: We rejected €4bn offer

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi says they're open to minority investment.

Their Qatari owners have no interest in offloading the club, that have enjoyed huge commercial success, but would be open to offloading a percentage.

"We received an offer of more than 4 billion (euros) but we are not going to sell, of course, just a percentage of the club, we'll think about it," he told TalkSport.

Al-Khelaifi added: "We took the club at 70 million euros and today it's over 4 billion euros. It's a good project, We don't do everything right, of course we're not perfect. From where we bought the club I think we should be proud."

Al-Khelaifi, who has slammed the coverage of the World Cup in his homeland, also gave an update on the future of Lionel Messi, who joined from Barcelona 18 months ago. The Argentine has been linked with a move back to Spain as well as the USA, but the PSG chief is confident the player is happy in France.

“He is with us. He is a Paris Saint-Germain player and has a contract with us. He has a contract with us and we will see at the end of the season. He's happy in Paris," added Al-Khelaifi.
