According to a report by L’Équipe, sources close to the circles of power in Doha claim that the Emir of Qatar and owner of Paris Saint-Germain Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is open to selling the French club in the event of a good offer.
This does not mean that Qatar is considering withdrawing from PSG. However, the news outlet alleges that there is concern from the club’s stockholders that interest in PSG has faded in the Middle Eastern country since the 2022 World Cup. Les Parisiens are no longer seen as a priority even if QSI failed in their bid to purchase Manchester United.
It’s further alleged that there is a sense of detachment with the Paris project which comes as Qatar is reducing its level of investment in the club. L’Équipe writes that there is a weariness felt with the prior era of overpaid stars and their attitudes. And while QSI continues to absorb losses, it has been asked to reduce the level of spending and to instead become more financially balanced.
The €500 million purchase of a 12.5% stake in the club from the American investment fund Arctos Partners is considered to be part of this move towards more financial balance.

Winning Ligue 1 over and over again does not make PSG a 'powerhouse'. I reckon Wolves would win that league if they played in it. Spent all that money for what?
You are right brother

Paris Saint-Germain deserves leadership as ambitious as the city it represents. While Qatar’s investment brought global attention and marquee signings, it’s clear the current ownership has lost the passion and vision to elevate PSG to true European dominance. The endless pursuit of overpaid superstars with little regard for team chemistry has left the club stagnant, both in spirit and achievements. The fact that PSG remains without a Champions League title—despite having spent billions—speaks volumes. Football isn’t just a business; it’s about building a legacy. The owners’ recent moves toward reduced investment and financial balance, while practical, signal a lack of hunger for glory. This is a club that needs more than financial engineering—it needs a footballing vision, a soul, and a leader who dreams as big as the Eiffel Tower itself. If the Emir of Qatar can no longer muster the energy or ambition to make PSG the pride of Europe, he should pass the torch to someone who will. The fans, the players, and the city deserve nothing less than relentless pursuit of greatness. It’s time for PSG to transcend being a branding exercise and reclaim its identity as a football powerhouse.

It was always a strange investment. The French League is barely top 5 in Europe. EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and then maybe Ligue 1. Much better investment models than that.
