French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[AndySt]

Is Mbappe interested in moving to Liverpool? Mbappe is a great player no doubt. And he is capable of scoring a lot of goals if he gets enough support from the team players. The Liverpool team is very strong. Nunez and Salah are in Liverpool's attack. But Nunez is not experienced enough. He misses a lot of easy chances. And so Liverpool needs another experienced striker. I have yet to see any rumors that Liverpool want to sign Mbappe. I think Mbappe will join the Madrid squad if he leaves PSG.

Now you have heard these rumors Liverpool is rumored to have entered the fight for Mbappe and is offering about 300 million for the striker. As far as we know, Paris Saint-Germain also seems to want this amount, and not the 220 million plus 20 million as bonuses that Real Madrid offers. Another question is how Mbappe himself looks at it, and especially his mother. And I'm afraid that if Mbappe does not move to Real Madrid this time, the club will not forgive him, as it did quite recently, and they will become enemies until the end of Mbappe's career.

I have yet to see any rumors that Liverpool want to sign Mbappe. I think Mbappe will join the Madrid squad if he leaves PSG.

There has not been any confirmation from Liverpool as far as I know but the rumors are that Liverpool is willing to pay more for Mbappe than Real Madrid is offering to PSG. That would be an unexpected and spectacular transfer beyond doubt.

Nunez is a good striker and he scored 9 goals in 29 games so far in the Premier League. I think for him it depends on how he will make progress in the next season. The first season is often full of swings in performance and not everything works as people are hoping for. Maybe Nunez turns into the striker that Klopp wants him to be.

PSG is only one party in this whole deal. Even if Liverpool makes such an offer, Mbappe has to make the final decision. It is said that he could be interested, but there is no proof for that.

[rendravolt]

Currently, the only player linked to PSG for the next season is Martin Ødegaard but since there are many other players who left PSG at the end of this season I still don't know how they are going to hire Ødegaard for the next season. Especially when PSG is still no sure about their coach and all we hear about the coaches for the next season is just Zidane and Enrique's names and nothing is clear yet for them.

I think even though there is a chance to sign Odegaard next season it is very small because he is both the captain and a key player for Arsenal and there is no way Arsenal will let him go. PSG doesn't have to wait for next season to improve its squad now and this summer is the right time to build a new squad especially the midfield which is still lacking in creativity. The future PSG coach is also uncertain and the names of the two coaches are often associated with PSG, but I am more inclined to Enrique this time, who will be the next PSG coach.

[Cryptmuster]

In fact PSg doesn't need to hire any player at this time not even Ødegaard or any other player because they are still seeking a new coach however according to some news Luis Enrique is in Paris right now and we just need to wait for him to officially sign his contract with PSG and then he can ask PSG to hire players.
Honesty I can't wait to see how PSG is going to perform with Enrique

In my opinion, it remains only to formally confirm that Enrique will be the head coach of PSG, respectively, if everything has already been agreed, then Enrique can select new players for the team. But I was not sure that Arsenal would agree to let their leader go, because they are also very ambitious and set themselves maximum goals. In any case, it seems to me that PSG with Ernicke will be able to become much stronger.

PSG must have a new coach officially to start their summer transfer season. Everything can be changed in last minutes so nothing is sure that they will get Enrique as their coach. Before officially having a new coach, they can not initiate their summer transfer for both In and Out players.

They always have abundant money but have yet successfully and smartly use their budget. It must be changed after Manchester City succeeded with their long term plan, with a good coach, strong belief in the coach and good transfer plans.

PSG must be a united team in order to succeed together. If they continue to have conflicts of players, they will not succeed like Manchester City.

If in the future Kylian Mbappé moves from PSG, then I think Real Madrid's chances of getting his signature are much higher than other teams. Kylian Mbappé wants to play for Real Madrid and so far has stated this several times, but until now this news has not been confirmed. Real Madrid may not get Kylian Mbappé if they don't offer PSG a reasonable amount, but if they are willing to spend as much money as other teams are interested then of course Real Madrid will get Kylian Mbappé.

So far, there are many teams that want to recruit Mbappe, but once again, Real Madrid's chances of signing him are higher. I'm not sure Mbappe will move to another team if Real Madrid are really serious about getting him, but of course only if they are willing to pay PSG big money too.

They have enough money to pay PSG and Mbappe. They have history of success, a most successful club in Champions League, they have many players won Ballon d'Or in history. They have the interest from the player Mbappe who really wants to join Real Madrid.

I agree with you that Real Madrid will be a first club in the list of potential clubs if Mbappe wants to leave and actually leave PSG. It's hard to find any club like Real Madrid that can satisfy the player in many aspect: money, titles, personal awards, it's only can be found at Real Madrid.

Real Madrid want to pay money but they know that they have more advantage than PSG. One more season and a next summer, Mbappe will join them without any transfer fee. PSG are the disadvantaged side in this deal.

Especially when PSG is still no sure about their coach and all we hear about the coaches for the next season is just Zidane and Enrique's names and nothing is clear yet for them.

He is linked but the probability is really low as it is seen clearly. Odegaard must be satisfied with the interest coming from one of the biggest teams in Europe. However as far as I know he doesn't have an intention to leave Arsenal for now. He had a wonderful season in the EPL and he is going to compete in the Champions League also.

Besides he still has 2 more years with Arsenal according to his contract. He even looked keen on extending his contract in the future. I don't expect to see him leave at least for this season. But next summer we never know what can happen.

If he shows a superb performance again then it wouldn't be easy to keep him for Arsenal.

If Liverpool offers 300 million for Mbappe then maybe we are going to see Mbappe at Liverpool. I don't think Real Madrid will be willing to spend 300 million on Mbappe. Liverpool are suddenly interested in Mbappe. Perhaps they are looking to build a squad fit to compete with Manchester City next season. Manchester City have Haaland, so Liverpool are keen to sign Mbappe, one of the best strikers at the moment. Liverpool has plenty of money, and they are keen to spend money. And so I think they will keep Mbappe in the squad either way.

Finally Luis Henrique reach agreement become PSG manager with two years contract duration, its good choose for PSG regarding how Luis Henrique experienced success won Champion League tittle when becoming Barcelona manager. PSG can star rebuilding new formation next season actually after leaving by Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos.

PSG sacked Cristophe Galtier after winning Ligue 1 tittle but failed in Champion Leagure and French Cup, right or not decision from PSG management choose Luis Henrique for filling PSG manager next season?

They have enough money to pay PSG and Mbappe. They have history of success, a most successful club in Champions League, they have many players won Ballon d'Or in history. They have the interest from the player Mbappe who really wants to join Real Madrid.

I am not surprised about Real Madrid's ability and long history of success both in La Liga and in Europe.
They are one of the clubs that have a lot of money flowing compared to other La Liga clubs including Barcelona, ​​but ups and downs can always occur. When you have a lot of money then maybe you will be closer to more success like Manchester City right now in the Premier League.

Of course I say that because I know the financial capabilities of Real Madrid and the big name of the club in Spain. A lot of players want to join them and achieve success, it's because they are built by quality players, money and a great coach.

Real Madrid want to pay money but they know that they have more advantage than PSG. One more season and a next summer, Mbappe will join them without any transfer fee. PSG are the disadvantaged side in this deal.

Real Madrid's approach to Mbappe like that isn't going to work, I think so. There is only one option for PSG not to lose, namely selling Mbappe to the team that offered him before he left on a free transfer.

PSG sacked Cristophe Galtier after winning Ligue 1 tittle but failed in Champion Leagure and French Cup, right or not decision from PSG management choose Luis Henrique for filling PSG manager next season?

Galtier now has more serious problems than a possible dismissal from PSG. They said that Galtier was arrested on charges of racism. The charges relate to the period of 21-22 years when he coached Nice. It's clear that this was superimposed on the unrest in Paris and now Luis Enrique will probably be 99% the coach of PSG. Perhaps with Galtier's arrest PSG won't even have to pay a forfeit. Surely there is a clause in the contract about the violation of the law and the termination of the contract in such a case.

Now PSG will have to sign Luis Enrique because there is no time to lose without a coach.

It looks like Luis Enrique has made up his mind to become a PSG coach and at least he will try it first for two seasons. If later the process goes smoothly, for sure Luis Enrique will want to get a contract extension offer from the owner of PSG. Currently, Luis Enrique's responsibility is very large because he has to do hard work so that all his players can coordinate well on the field and the arrival of new players will certainly change the line-up later. Naturally, PSG owners are dissatisfied with Galtier's performance, who can only present the Ligue 1 title and again PSG's main target now is to win the UCL, in my opinion it will take more time because his adaptation has to start from the beginning with a new coach.

Luis Enrique is about to sign his two years contract with PSG but the problem with him and his contract is Galtier and the contract he had before with PSG. Because Galtier's contract is not over yet and PSG should pay 6m to Galtier.

PSG sacked Cristophe Galtier after winning Ligue 1 tittle but failed in Champion Leagure and French Cup, right or not decision from PSG management choose Luis Henrique for filling PSG manager next season?

The board made an appropriate choice in appointing an experienced coach to lead the club. For an extended period of time, PSG has not produced the best results or attained their ultimate goal of winning the UEFA Champions League. The Parisians are always close to lifting the title each season, but this time they're not even close, with back-to-back knockout phase eliminations. They appointed a new coach, Luis Enrique, and I hope he does something spectacular for his new club, leaving crucial players like Sergio Ramos and Leo Messi will not affect the club's performance, they were doing extremely well before they signed these players, so what makes you think they will perform worse after they depart?

[Leviathan.007]

It seems Real Madrid is just standing and watching the fight between PSG and Mbappe, if they continue this fight and PSG sells Mbappe because of not extending his contract, they can hire Mbappe easily which is much better for Real Madrid while if PSG doesn't change their mind, Real Madrid should pay 200m to PSG.

I would not underestimate the influence of a coach and how a player perceives a coach and values to be working with him. Ancelotti will only stay for one more year as it seems while Klopp in Liverpool has a contract that expires in 2026. Since Liverpool seems to have joined the party to court Mbappe, maybe Klopp has a word to say here and plays a role for Mbappe's decision. This will remain speculation for a while I think, but there isn't even a new coach for PSG yet. That is why Mbappe saying that he will stay at PSG is odd as he doesn't even know who his coach will be.

Yes, the change of coach is the right decision. Moreover, Enrique has a better historical record, PSG has a higher chance of winning their target so far in the UCL, but may PSG must be willing to spend more money to buy several players in the transfer market this summer. I don't think the depart of Lionel Messi and Ramos will have too bad an impact on PSG performance in the coming season, if Luis Enrique succeeds in implementing tactics that are suitable for the PSG squad.

Now PSG will have to sign Luis Enrique because there is no time to lose without a coach.

To begin with, Galtier's guilt must be proven, plus I'm not sure that there is a clause in the contract where he undertakes to "be clean" from birth. In general, in my opinion, this is a crazy situation, even if his opinion is absurd, is it worth dragging him to jail if, apart from the alleged words, there were no actions based on them? In any case, the police have 24 hours to file charges, so we'll find out what exactly he's charged with tomorrow.

PSG is putting in a lot of effort to make the things right. Luis Enrique, is highly regarded coach, but the club being managed poorly. They have finance, the club lacks proper structure. Their relentless focus on winning the UCL keep hurting them so far. Now the management should allow Luis sufficient time and chance to build the kind of team he wants. Not just signing top players without considering their compatibility with the coach's plans will only lead to further problems. It is crucial to give the coach the freedom to build the team he desires. I'm optimistic that positive changes are on the roll.
