‘We respect the French Government decision,’ Nasser Al-Khelaifi said.
‘We plan to continue our progress in the Champions League with a UEFA agreement, wherever it is held.
‘If we still can’t play here in France, we will play our games abroad only if players and staffs safety are guaranteed.’
Lyon are the 2nd French club in the tournament and are yet to reveal their plans for the competition.
PSG have already reached the Champions League quarter-finals after a 3-2 win over Borussia Dortmund before the pandemic stopped football.
MySportDab understands the French champions are determined to win the competition for the first time and will play two of their remaining games abroad in the quarter-finals and if they reach the semi-final.
