French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[rendravolt]

Despite all the controversy, as a club, PSG can indeed be blamed in this case because they pressured their players to leave so that the club could still make money from the sale. On the other hand, Mbappe wants to stay and as a professional football club PSG's actions can also be categorized as extortion against players. I think if Mbappe wanted to move now it wouldn't matter, but the player is adamant to stay and respect the club's contract to the end. We know that Mbappe's goal in 2024 is to go to Real Madrid for free and it should be a personal right for a player to determine his future and here we can see PSG are still trying to make sure that doesn't happen.

I don't know about respect in his actions. He could have at least given more leverage to PSG so they could still sell him to another major club. His early notice to the team owners that he didn't want to renew his contract made other teams like Real Madrid not make any offer since he is leaving as a free agent anyway. That really placed PSG at a disadvantage and I think that was disrespectful on the part of Mbappe.

Kylian Mbappe would certainly not join any club that doesn't meet his own personal requirements just because Paris Saint Germaine management wants to get him sold so he doesn't leave for free when his contract with the club expires in next summer.
The player has made it clear that Real Madrid is his preferred destination so I think PSG's management should find a way to reach agreement with the Spanish club when they come knocking for the Frenchman. That I think will make things become easy for the three parties involved.

It looks like today's news developments where Real Madrid has made preparations for a meeting with Psg to discuss the Mbappe transfer next week. I think Real Madrid will focus this transfer window on Mbappe and forget about the Vlahovic they were linked with in the previous week.

Well Mbappe main goal is Real Madrid and I'm sure he will agree all the terms to join Real Madrid in this transfer window.  Given that Mbappe remaining contract only has 1 season left with Psg, whether in Real Madrid meeting with PSG, Real Madrid will bid below 100 million or over 100 million, considering that Real Madrid can get Mbappe without having to spend money next season.

In fact, I personally want Mbappe to leave PSG and join another club, I think his market value will increase. But if Mbappe joins Real Madrid then I think Benzema's lack will be somewhat compensated.

If the competition is still the same as the previous season, then Ligue 1 will lose a lot of enthusiasts, especially now that they have lost players who bring many eyes to watch Ligue 1 matches, such as Lionel Messi. Yes, I understand that it happens because of the far ability between Paris Saint Germain and the clubs that are its competitors, especially in terms of money, that makes the competition like Paris Saint Germain alone. Even last season when Lens could be close to Paris Siant Germain, because Paris Saint Germain had a setback, and if they were not like that then I am very sure they would be far behind the Parisian ruler.
I hope there are things that can happen to make the league more competitive again.

PSG's ultimatum about Mbappe being given 2 weeks in the end became mere nonsense because there was no certainty about PSG's bluff.
Mbappe seemed fine with no pressure and just focused on his condition to prepare for the new season (regardless of which club he will play for).
A possible scenario if there is still no meeting point for PSG and Mbappe now is that he will probably still be playing at least until the winter transfer for PSG and that may already have to be final for them because PSG must be more decisive if they do not want Mbappe to leave for free.

Some time ago I also read some news about a 10-year and 1 billion contract for Mbappe but it seems that this ignored.

Previously, Romano reported that PSG had met with one of Mbappe's parties. Nothing was explained in detail at the meeting, but it was reported that the meeting did not find common ground. I feel confident that there will be another meeting between Mbappe and PSG management to discuss Mbappe's status. now, PSG will go on tour without Mbappe. at least, this is a warning to the star.

IMO, the scenario is, if Mbappe insists he doesn't want to sign his contract with PSG. like it or not, PSG must be willing to let the player go with free agent status. except, if there are several clubs who want to bring him even though the price is very fantastic, including for Real Madrid. however like I said in another post. that the final decision rests with Mbappe. well, IMO, the last scenario seems pretty extreme. PSG will not give Mbappe playing time, and let him sit on the bench. however, anything can still happen. let's just follow, Mbappe's transfer saga this summer.

[Oneandpure]

Looks still interested with discussing about Kylian Mbappé future, stay with PSG or leaves in this season after PSG announcing will sell him if not extend contract. Dilemma for PSG after Kylian Mbappé still not respond with deadline given for two weeks and Mbappe still on his decision won't agree for extending contract will over next year. PSG hasn't option if won't loss Mbappe as free agent next season and before window transfer close must find with interested teams who pay more expensive transfer fees.

Kylian Mbappé still not discussing about his future with other team, he want stay until his contract over although PSG not include him in last pre season games at Asian.

The only thing I am sure of is Paris Saint Germain is at the peak of the doubt, where they still want Mbappe for one more season but they also certainly do not want Mbappe's departure to not benefit the club whatsoever. News like that will continue to spread until each party provides official clarification, especially when it comes to big clubs like PSG and Real Madrid. I will never forget the moment a few seasons ago, the situation is almost the same with regard to negotiations, agreements, and so on

[beerlover]

PSG are primarily to blame for everything that is going on in the club; the board has made some horrendous decisions in the past few years and is currently on the lookout for them. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi offered a tempting massive bid for Kylian Mbappe when he was almost out to join the Los Blancos at Santiago Bernabeu, he decline Real Madrid bid in the final minutes and tend to accept the new offer from PSG, we know it was only a matter of time for the Frenchman to fully state his ambitions to win the UEFA Champions League.

It is their past policy and I see they are correcting the past mistakes by changing their policy and approach for Mbappe. They will not repeat their bad decision one year ago by signing a new contract with Mbappe, increasing his salary and allowing him to gain bigger power in the club. It is not too late to change anything and PSG are doing a right new approach to move forward.

I think we must wait for the end of this summer transfer season to actually know about their approach because so far we only can know from news, interviews, press conferences but PSG can hide their real approach and can make stupid decision with Mbappe again.

I feel like as long as they can make sure that no other player can do what Mbappe did, then I assume they have learned from their mistake and should be doing fine. I believe that we are going to end up with something like PSG not paying all that much for salary, just to keep players I mean. They will want players that want to play there, and if the player doesn't want to play there but only wants a lot of money and that's the reason why they are going to PSG, then they will not pay more than what other teams are paying.

This way they will eliminate players who will not want to be there and I guess that will make them not get the greatest ever, but at least get players that will put 100% everyday when they are playing for the team.

Still around Kylian Mbappe with Paris Saint Germain which is still a question mark
I saw news from one of the online media, where there was an issue that Paris Saint Germain was preparing a special contract that had never happen with any club, regardless of whether it was true or not there were rumors that PSG had offer a 10-year contract for Mbappe, but it was not certain how much value was offer by PSG. The question for me is whether such a thing is allowed in football, because as far as I know, the average football player's contract duration is only five seasons?

If the regulations only allowed teams to sign a player for 5 years then perhaps some private agreement could be made to extend the contract for up to 10 consecutive seasons. PSG only needs to offer a 5 year contract and extend it for another 5 seasons once the player is so close to the end of his contract, it seems reasonable instead of offering a 10 year contract at once.

But anyway, I think PSG just looks more likely to sell Mbappe to another team before his contract runs out. They wouldn't let Mbappe go for free to any team, so selling him was a wise decision even if they didn't really want to do it.

The funny thing is that Real Madrid is well aware that PSG is at an impasse, so they don’t even make proposals for the transfer of Mbappe  Real Madrid is trying to squeeze all the juice out of this situation and it looks like they are succeeding. Even if they don't buy him now (I think they will), they will get him in a year, and PSG, which looked like a triumphant year ago, turned out to be a complete loser, since all options are not in their favor.

I agree because in this way the situation will be calmer all over the news because the hot topic is currently being complicated discussing Paris SG not promptly giving wise decisions to their own player.
I know that sometimes all of this is just exaggerated but we don't know the certainty or the truth as to what happened and I'm sure that in this matter there is actually something hidden between the two parties or my prediction is actually Kylian just wants to leave for free so he can leave the Paris SG club but meanwhile this club really needs a talented player like him.
Actually, I don't want to talk about this all the time but I can't avoid this because it's very interesting to wait for Paris SG to make an official decision to the whole world whether Mbappe will renew his contract or just sell him.

all power and efforts have been exerted by the PSG president to tie mbappe's feet to stay at PSG but mbappe is still young, he wants more achievements like the UCL while PSG are unable to give him that trophy. I'm also not sure if mbappe will officially move to real madridd as soon as possible, PSG really can't hold back the ambition of its players, after losing messi the next one to leave PSG is mbappe.

Considering how much it cost PSG to convince Mbappe to stay, it never looked like a triumph although I assume you mean that PSG outdid Real Madrid when they tried to buy him. The winner has always been Mbappe in all of this as the contract he signed with PSG was like a Royal Flush. He knew he could never be the loser in this irrespective of what his next move would be. But I don't know if PSG really cares about the money or whether they want to make it as cumbersome as possible in order to not look like amateurs in public. Eventually they will sell Mbappe and then say that they won't accept any player to play games with them and that is why he had to go.

Mauro Icardi left PSG and is going to play for Galatasaray in the next season. Mauro Icardi was playing for PSG this season but he was on loan in Galatasaray and had drama with his team PSG, that's why it's not too bad for PSG to finally sell Mauro Icardi to the Turkish teams.

Icardi has been playing for galatasaray since last season. He has good statistics. Icardi was able making a lot of goals in one season, which was around 22 goals from 24 matches. that's a very good goal rate caused by he was almost making 1 goal in any match with galatasaray. Icardi is still in negotiation with galatasaray. You must see the latest news about him. He considers move to the argentine's club after he will be completing the new deal with galatasaray. Everything is fine for him now. PSG already let him go to the galatasaray since last season.
He is underrated player at this moment.

PSG just doesn't want to lose money after redeeming Mbappe at a fantastic price of 180 million euros from AS Monaco in 2018. PSG sentenced the player to sign a new contract but was ignored. As a result, PSG took steps to put Mbappe on the sell list in the transfer market this summer. The situation is also heating up because Kylian Mbappe is even reportedly ready to sit on the bench throughout the season to smooth out his plans to leave at the end of the season. Kylian Mbappe has always been a mainstay of PSG for the past six seasons. Mbappe has contributed 212 goals plus 98 assists in 260 matches in all competitions.

So with that in mind, has PSG accepted the offer that came to them. I think mbappe is indeed a player who has above average abilities on the field which makes him a very expensive player with a release clause. There isn't even an EPL Team to try to send their offer to psg to sign Mbappe in this transfer window.

I think if Mbappe goes to the premier League for sure the EPL will be more interesting next season because top strikers are playing in EPL like Haaland and Kane. But so far Mbappe really wants to join Real Madrid even PSG already knows that Mbappe is in communication with Real Madrid to join Real Madrid when his contract period ends with PSG. This season is like a big test that happened to PSG because they just lost Messi who went to another club because he didn't want to extend his contract with PSG. Even Mbappe is also included in the players to be sold in this transfer window. Only Neymar is left and I think PSG completely lose their balance next season.

Then PSG must be the dumbest club ever if they didn't want to lose money on Mbappe but only agreed a mere 2 years renewal plus option for one year (which is up to the player) deal with him prior, now I don't understand what the club problem is, the player said he will honor is contractual terms and agreement reached by playing out his contract but doesn't want another renewal, how is that supposed to be an issue ? except for club who is already well known to always using awful theatrics to hold players against their will.
PSG turned down several bids last season for Mbappe even when the player had to implored them to sell him and let him go, they had all the opportunity to sell him them but they must have felt cocky and untouchable because of their money, now it's a threat against the player renew or get sold. I'm trying too see which stupid club owner(s) that looks forward to spending almost 200m in transfer fees and exorbitant wages on a player whose contract is less than a year away from becoming obsolete, except those annoying Saudi club owners, but we all know Mbappe would definitely never get to agree personal terms with any of those clubs.

Put yourself in the shoes of the club's president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, and no one would like to lose money on the club's most valued player. Kylian Mbappe is keeping things tension-filled with the Parisians; he is adamant about extending his contract with the club, and he does not want to be offered in the market window this summer; he will most likely be compelled to do so. If he leaves as a free agent, PSG would lose a lot of money because they spent some hugh figures on him solely to keep him from leaving for Real Madrid last summer. Let's see how everything plays out.
