French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Oneandpure]

I have also heard that Liverpool are interested in Mbappe. But I don't know if it is vice versa. Because Mbappe's priority has been Real Madrid so far. However I must admit that Liverpool have also a game plan that would fit him in a great way. They also like to play a fast football rather than a boring ball possession game. This is a plus for Liverpool as for their interest in him. But like I said I would expect him to hear from Real Madrid absolutely. In case of getting a favourable offer from them I don't think Liverpool can do anything about it.

But while people are whispering like there will be an offer of 300 million euros by Liverpool things can get quite interesting to follow. 

Looks beyond expectation with Liverpool interested to sign Mbappe, indeed has much money and agree for transfer fees above 300 million but Mbappe won't to play with Liverpool without participants in Champion League. Real Madrid is priority for Mbappe but not sure about his future for next season want to leave PSG because last statement keep stay until his contract over on 2024. PSG hasn't many option with Mbappe future, one side keep stay him for one years later automatically loss opportunity for PSG getting much money due Mbappe will be free agent but expected sell him above 300 million euro not realistic and interested for signing Mbappe will waiting one year later and become free agent.

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.

I knew that there were rumors about him being a racist, but didn't know he would be "arrested", I mean racism is a bad thing of course and as a football manager being a racist feels like such a funny thing, dude you are mainly managing black people, how could you be a racist person in a job that is heavily employing people you do not like? In any case, as long as you do not "do" something about it, how could he be arrested? Did he hurt someone or anything?

Not as far as we know, so it doesn't really feel like a sensible thing to arrest him, but to be fair I am all for racists getting locked up, that ain't really a bad thing. The French unrest going on right now definitely sped things up a lot I am sure of that without a doubt.

Mbappe should join Liverpool or Real Madrid. He probably won't win the Champions League title at PSG. Although PSG spends a lot of money on players, PSG does not employ experienced coaches. This is why every season we see erratic performances from PSG. Liverpool are willing to spend big to get Mbappe into the squad. I think PSG will sell Mbappe and Neymar. And will make their squad completely new under the leadership of the new coach.

Nobody can tell yet what PSG is planning without anyone knowing and who they want to sign, but they had no chance last season with Ramos, Messi, Mbappe, Neymar and several other world class players to get even close to the title in the Champions League. If they now let most of these players go and a lot of players already left or decided to leave, who are the players that they are going to bring in in order to have a chance to win that title? I can't see yet that PSG will again have a team of that quality and now imagine that even Mbappe considers leaving even though he doesn't say it yet. it would be game over for them for a while.

[bestcoins1]

If Mbappe left. Yes the performance of this team will definitely drop, of course that will be a big problem for PSG, as you said Mbappe contribution for PSG is very large. But I think PSG will keep Mbappe no matter what, like last season. For me, Galtier is not very good for PSG Sir, even though PSG won the Ligue 1 title but this team has a record of total goals conceded which is not so good in standings this league.

Winning in Ligue1 has become commonplace for PSG so there is nothing PSG can be proud of for this and also competition in Ligue1 is not as competitive as other leagues so winning Ligue1 is no longer a special thing for PSG. So, what PSG really needs to work on is to become champions in the UCL by providing fiercer competition to all the opponents faced by PSG. If PSG can do that next season, that would be great and I think PSG are still worth reckoning with in terms of the title race, especially in the UCL.

A move to Liverpool is too big of a risk for Mbappé - if City continue to dominate, the 'argument of the era' will be settled in Haaland's favour. The transition to Real Madrid is more reliable - there he is guaranteed titles + due to the success of the French team, he will be guaranteed to look better than Haaland.

Mbappe to Liverpool looks good on paper; but i do not agree that this is what Liverpool needs this new season because in entire Europe atm, only Manchester city, Manchester united and Real Madrid can afford to buy Mbappe. With MCFC already glued with Alvarez and Haaland; and MUFC needing a different type of forward in their ranks. Spain, and Santiago Bernabue is the only realistic destination for Mbappe.

[Docnaster]

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.

indeed the departure of Messi and Ramos will not affect PSG's performance but for Mbappe's departure it will greatly affect the future of PSG because from last season Mbappe's contribution was very large for PSG and if PSG had got a new coach Enrique tried to maintain Mbappe's role at PSG.
and I'm not sure if the PSG coach is replaced it will be better because I know Galtier's role was very good for PSG even though they failed in the UCL but to reach the top of the standings they succeeded.

If Mbappe left. Yes the performance of this team will definitely drop, of course that will be a big problem for PSG, as you said Mbappe contribution for PSG is very large. But I think PSG will keep Mbappe no matter what, like last season. For me, Galtier is not very good for PSG Sir, even though PSG won the Ligue 1 title but this team has a record of total goals conceded which is not so good in standings this league.

Kylian Mbappe is currently one of the best footballers in the world at the moment and so it's very obvious that not just Paris Saint Germaine but any other team will greatly not be okay to let him go.
Luis Enrique for sure would want to work with Mbappe because his presence gives any manager that's managing his team the confidence that there's a player in the team that can always create goalscoring opportunities.

[Leviathan.007]

The last news about PSG and Galtier is he got arrested in Paris and he is right now in the Auvare police station because of being racist. This can affect his stay in Paris and I think there is a chance to see him leaving Paris for his own good, however, the only thing PSG needs to do about Galtier is just pay him the money to cancel his contract.

If Liverpool want to spend 300 million dollars on Mbappe, Mbappe will definitely join Liverpool. Because the French star will get a huge amount of money with a good quality club. If 300 million euros are prepared for Mbappe, then Real Madrid will fall behind in the fight to get Mbappe. Because Real Madrid will not want to risk spending 300 million euros to sign Mbappe at the moment. If Mbappe joins Liverpool, Liverpool will be a worthy competitor to Manchester City.

I also think that for Liverpool, the acquisition of Mbappe would be a very powerful reinforcement that would allow the club to once again rise to the highest level of competition that Manchester City and Arsenal demonstrated in the vulgar season. I am also talking about this for this season, given the strengthening of the squad Arsenal is doing now, that for me personally, so far the most important contenders for the Premier League title this season are City and Arsenal. If Liverpool succeeds in strengthening Mbappe, then I will include Liverpool in this list of the main favorites of the season.

If Liverpool succeeds in strengthening Mbappe, then I will include Liverpool in this list of the main favorites of the season.

I understand that Liverpool are currently being linked with Mbappe. But the price for Mbappe is quite expensive, will Liverpool be able to bring him in?  Even though it could happen, but will this bet benefit them in the coming seasons. It's true Liverpool have lost centre-forward this season after Firmino left but chasing Mbappe would be spectacular if they did. Mbappe has a big salary and also has a high release clause which is what PSG wants. So if Liverpool is included in the Mbappe hunting team, then Liverpool will be Real Madrid's competitors in this race. In fact, Mbappe has clarified that he still wants to stay with PSG, so it will be very exciting if Liverpool can break Mbappe loyalty to PSG. This season, Messi left PSG and if Mbappe leaves, it is very likely that PSG front line next season will really lose its sharpness because PSG goal machine is Mbappe.

[Velvet78]

I don't feel like Liverpool and Mbappe thing will get real soon. Real Madrid have already been on the line to sign him and he is also keen on signing for them. I don't see Liverpool winning a race to pay more money for him either. Because Real Madrid wouldn't refrain from offering the same. Liverpool should look for some other players as a result.

Real Madrid will be signing Mbappe sooner or later. The president Perez doesn't want to rush anything for now. But if PSG make a statement like they are selling him now then things can change quickly. The same thing is valid again if Liverpool or some other team make an official offer suddenly.

[Spacewalker]

Yes, it seems that the problem is with PSG, who still really want Mbappe to stay at PSG, meanwhile, Mbappe wants to leave by not accepting the contract extension proposed by PSG. Therefore, then of course the big clubs will look forward to a split between PSG against Mbappe and if so, then of course not only Real Madrid are willing to sign Mbappe. But indeed, if Mbappe is still going to choose Real Madrid then of course, it is the right choice even though joining another big club would still be good for Mbappe. But to join Real Madrid, I'm sure it will be the right choice for Mbappe to make a big history with many achievements that are very possible.

And in my opinion, Paris Saint-Germain does not want Mbappe to stay at the club so much and would have quietly sold the player. The whole question is about Mbappe himself and his desire to get a bonus and whether the club owners will want to punish the player by withdrawing from the squad if he does not agree to leave the club for compensation that would suit the club.

Sometimes I am very confused about the social construct of racism. What I want to know is that, did he call a black player the "N" word during any coaching session? Is that why he is arrested right now?

Or is it the reason for him not playing black players?

Did he actually hate black people and that's why he did not let black players play in the field and preferred white players instead of blacks?

The thing is we are watching a lot of innocent people being locked up recently. That's why I just don't want to believe anything that they say. It could be anything and they are trying to make it look like racism. I just want to see proof before believing something.

Liverpool cannot buy Mbappe, they don't have the money to buy him, they could not even buy Bellingham or bid for him because he was too expensive. Mbappe does not want to go to Liverpool too, if Mbappe is going to leave psg this summer or next, everybody knows the team that he wants to go to, and the team is Real madrid. If Mbappe leaves psg, the Ligue 1 will lose their biggest star, they were able to make him stay last summer, but i don't think that he will play in the Ligue 1 longer than 2024.

Exaggerating, Liverpool can sign Kylian Mbappe from PSG, but they cannot risk exceeding their estimated budget in the summer market. Every club has a budget, the amount of money they want to spend on a player, and it appears that PSG's bid for Mbappe is high in this transfer market. Jurgen Klopp did has plans for Jude Bellingham, but he changed his mind because he considered the youngster was overhyped and his market value did not correspond to the player's current form. There's one thing we should know about Jurgen Klopp: before he spends big money on a player, he makes sure the player is worth it.

[Patrol69]

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.

Mbappe has been rumored to join Real Madrid as well as a Liverpool deal. Many believe that Mbappe is more likely to go to Liverpool from Real Madrid at the moment. Because Real Madrid are not willing to spend the amount of money that Liverpool are willing to spend on Mbappe. At the moment Real Madrid should move to a better club, in which case Real Madrid should be given more priority. Because if Mbappe goes to Real Madrid from Liverpool, his salary will be lower, but if Mbappe goes to Real Madrid, Mbappe can take his career home. I think Mbappé can only reach the peak of his career if he goes to Real Madrid.

You have a good point here and I think PSG letting the players on the list go means they have other plans that we don't know to bring replacement for them but who or which players are they planning to bring to the club that will do wonders which could not be achieved when they had the likes of Messi, Mbappe, Naymer, Ramos just as you mentioned which could not help them to get the champions League trophy. With most of the big names already out of the club, I think letting Mbappe leave will make the team to become less dangerous in all competitions because they will be playing without a name of a big player unless they will make a die minute transfer which we don't know who they plan to bring.

There have been many rumours, but Kylian Mbappe is unlikely to join Liverpool, rather he is more interested in joining Real Madrid. Kalyan Mbappe knows very well that he must join Real Madrid to fulfill his long-held dream. But another message has been heard by Rodrigo himself that he will leave the Bernabeu if Mbappe is signed by Real Madrid. However, Rodrigo and vini are better than Real Madrid Kalyan Mbappe so maybe Real Madrid will not find it so easy to sign Mbappe. If Liverpool announce a good budget for Kylian Mbappe then maybe he will join Liverpool but not sure yet.

That's gonna happen if liverpool or madrid will be willing to pay what PSG want for mbappe. Mbappe stated that if he will be agreed to leave from the club as long as PSG will fulfil his requirement.
PSG wants buyer paid a lot of money for him. Mbappe is not wanna lose a lot of money too from PSG. Money is the reason why mbappe is still staying until the end of his contract.

I don't see another motive from mbappe to stay even longer in PSG while he has been getting so many offers from various clubs.

I have not heard any such rumors till now. There is no personal dispute between Rodrigo and Mbappe, so why would Rodrigo leave Real Madrid if Mbappe joins Real Madrid? Real Madrid management consider Rodrigo and Vinicius Jr. as assets to Real Madrid. If your news is true, then Real Madrid will never take the risk of letting go of these two and taking Mbappe. But I don't think anything like that can happen. Why would Rodrigo make such a decision if there was no personal conflict between them. I also think Rodrigo Vinicius Jr. and Mbappe will form a strong attacking division in that case, Rodrigo should not back down on this matter.
