Paris Saint Germain admitted Friday they would be happy to send fans asleep after their dominance of the French Ligue 1 title chase was reflected in a new multi-million euro sponsorship deal with a hotel giant.

The French champions, who enjoy a 14-point lead at the top of the table and are well placed to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, agreed a new shirt sponsorship deal with the French multinational Accor.

PSG president Nasser Al-Khela?fi admitted that the deal could even see fans get the opportunity to stay overnight at the club's Parc des Princes ground in the French capital.

"We can imagine that," Al-Khelaifi told AFP when asked if he could see the agreement stretching to hotel breaks at the stadium.

"Accor can exploit the lounge spaces at the stadium, create temporary hotels on the pitch or behind the goals. When there are no matches, people want to sleep at Parc des Princes! There are lots of things that can be done."
