French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[shogun47]

If Neymar Jr goes to Barcelona I think he will be able to perform better than PSG. Because the players of the Barcelona team have performed exceptionally well at the moment. If Neymar joins the team, the team will be even stronger.

Neymar hasn't performed bad for PSG, his scoring statistics are good and among the best the league has seen I think. His issue is how often he is injured and how much he wants as a salary. If he is free of injures and in a good physical shape, he can help any team no matter whether it is Barcelona or some other top team. But is a player worth the money when a coach doesn't have the slightest idea about how many games the player will be able to play?

Yeah the main problem for Neymar is especially his getting injured quite often and for long time periods at the same time. Maybe his statistics have always been impressive at PSG but he can't make the necessary contribution as long as he continues to get injured like this. There is no reason for PSG to pay a high amount of money to him while he is in this condition.

When it comes to Barcelona I don't think they can sign him this summer. There is just no way to do this unless they sell some players first. Maybe they have a big amount of budget but it just doesn't end there. They need to act according to La Liga FFP rules if they don't want to be punished.

But I don't get why the situation should be any different for Barcelona regarding Neymar's injuries than it was for PSG. Whether they can sell a lot of players or organize some sponsor to pay the salary, it is currently said that they want a club from Saudi Arabia to support the deal or something, they would still have the same issues that Neymar could be  injured after two weeks in the season and then miss 12 weeks of the season and then play again for two weeks and get injured again. I don't think he is worth so much money.

It is difficult for his current condition. As you said, Neymar's injury problem is a problem because with this, Neymar's performance will definitely suffer regardless.
And I agree with what you said when the salary makes this player difficult. There are some big clubs who still expect Neymar and this season it is the same as some EPL clubs who want to bring him but the problem is he has no problem with going anywhere it's just that he wants the same salary as at PSG making another consideration for clubs who want to sign him.
Currently Neymar is one of the players with a high enough salary and with his condition that is always problematic due to injury then of course this will be very calculated because the club also does not want to pay dearly for players who have the potential for recurrent injuries even though he is still very useful.

Somehow I tend to think that Barcelona has a great chance of reuniting with Neymar. PSG are certainly waiting for Barcelona's approach for Neymar, but I don't think it will be easy if Barcelona don't make PSG a reasonable offer. While Barcelona, ​​which still has financial problems, is still having trouble managing its finances, even the future of some of its young players is always in question, like Ansu Fati, who could possibly leave at any time.

Neymar has also had offers from the Saudi Pro League, MLS and the Premier League, but I think Barcelona is the team that suits him. Barcelona need to move to sign Neymar if they are still interested, surely he would be a great signing for Barcelona.

Lewandowski has better body resistance than Neymar, so Xavi doesn't plan to include Neymar in this new season, because they have also have a mainstay striker. Also like you said Barcelona must to sell players if they want to sign Neymar, and that will be a problem for Xavi because his plan may will not going very well. I heard in the local media about Neymar, reportedly that Manchester United are planning to sign this man, if that is true then it will be very good for him because rarely club in Europa interested with injured players.

Xavi does not want to bring in Neymar even though Neymar has expressed his desire to return to Barcelona. Apart from that, Neymar large salary will be a big problem for Barcelona to recruit him. Neymar is more comfortable with PSG now because he has become a big foundation for PSG after PSG lost several core players in their squad depth this season.

After Messi left psg in this transfer window, PSG moved quickly to recruit other players in this transfer window. Several quality stickers brought in by PSG in this transfer window such as Asensio, Dembele and Goncalo Ramos. So that Neymar with his best quality and long experience in Ligue 1 will be needed by PSG to be able to give full support to their game this season.

I don't know what making mbappe and psg to have not reached a final term and decision to his faith at this Psg. There have been many cases and also it usually affects the mindset of the player because you having to play for a club where your mind isn't there will cause his ability and performance to drop and psg really needs him and if he actually left the club they would really miss his presence at the club.

And finally, the latest news is that Mbappe will stay at PSG until next season his contract expires at PSG. And after that, he'll be a free transfer agent and he'll be free wherever he goes. This seems to be Mbappe's decision at the moment, especially seeing how his fate is still not very clear. In fact, this decision will actually make PSG feel at a loss? because after all, if Mbappe is not sold now and only a free transfer when his contract ends, PSG will not get a fee for moving him. And that means Real Madrid don't need to spend big money to get Mbappe. Could it be that this is indeed one of Real Madrid's own plans because they are sure that Mbappe will still go to his club. But on the other hand, Real Madrid must be able to survive with the strength of the current squad until Mbappe comes to them.

[Leviathan.007]

There is madness in Paris and it seems after Mbappe two other key players are now out of the teams, after the news about Mbappe and PSG saying this player should not train with the team also they said Mbappe won't play in the next games for PSG, now Marco Verratti and Neymar are out of the team. It seems the offer Ah Hilal sent for Marco Verratti is getting real and they want to hire this payer from PSG, also PSG made their decision about Neymar for the next season they want to sell this player.

Ligue One opening is few days around the corner, just expecting supremacy dominance from the parisians, they're popularly known for this. The new boss, Luis Enrique will have a taste of what it feels like. PSG should prepared themselves for the tough challenges ahead, because it's never going to be easy as it seems. The parisians have tough opponents to deal with next season, that's why the president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi is extremely working on the team, making sure they're balanced interms of performance, in the aspect, even though Kylian Mbappe leaves, his absence won't affect the team.

Mbappe has already informed PSG that he won't leave this summer, no matter what. I'm also tired of this Mbappe situation. Will the team focus on improving after all this drama? I'm quite certain it will impact their performance, but let's hope for the best. It would be interesting that PSG has the world's best player but might not use him. The painful part for club is that Mbappe might join Real for free. BTW, they made him untouchable and it's coming back to affect them now.

I don't see how the performance of the club can improve where there are so many problems between the club and the players. Mbappe is currently one of the best stars in PSG, Mbappe's transfer has created a bad relationship between the club and Mbappe, and Mbappe's name and picture have already been removed from all places in the club, where a club has so much anger towards a player, how can he play his best for the club? It is normal for the club to treat Mbappe like this because the way Mbappe has treated the club has never been within the rules of football. Mbappe will go to Real Madrid but not this season only because he won't pay PSG a transfer fee. If a player like Mbappe leaves the team as a free agent, it is a big loss for the team which PSG understands.

Mbappe definitely should have left PSG. I genuinely do not understand why he is not leaving PSG. Does he wants to stay in PSG and complete his contract and after that join Real Madrid as a free agent? I think that is what he is aiming for. I genuinely think that this is not because he has any horrible agreement with Real Madrid. I believe this is because he wants to become a free agent in the next season and wants to see which club is going to offer him the most amount of money. If he is a free agent I think even Barcelona will be interested in him. So he will have a bigger pool to choose from.

It seems the offer Ah Hilal sent for Marco Verratti is getting real and they want to hire this payer from PSG, also PSG made their decision about Neymar for the next season they want to sell this player.

I think PSG will give Mabppe a lot of punishments this season. After previously Mbappe was not brought on the pre-season tour, news has now spread that Mbappe will not be training with the main squad this season. So there is no more accurate solution to Mbappe future because he still wants to stay with PSG but PSG will not provide any relief for him to be able to play in every game this season.

For Neymar and Verratti speculation over the future has continued to grow this week as both players are believed to be sold by PSG in this transfer window. Al Hilal has made an offer for Verratti but was rejected by PSG. However, for Neymar Al Hilal have yet to send their official offer regarding their interest in recruiting Neymar.

Neymar is more comfortable with PSG now because he has become a big foundation for PSG after PSG lost several core players in their squad depth this season.

It seems that Xavi has made a very wise decision in terms of recruiting players, especially in terms of responding to Neymar's desire to return to Barcelona. I also agree more if Neymar wants to stay at PSG with the new recruits at PSG because that won't be any worse for him either. Especially if PSG still really need Neymar for this season because of the departure of other front-line players through this season's transfer market.

After Messi left psg in this transfer window, PSG moved quickly to recruit other players in this transfer window. Several quality stickers brought in by PSG in this transfer window such as Asensio, Dembele and Goncalo Ramos. So that Neymar with his best quality and long experience in Ligue 1 will be needed by PSG to be able to give full support to their game this season.

The arrivals of Asensio, Dembele and Goncalo Ramos are of course very important for PSG and they can also work with Neymar to make PSG stronger this season. Because PSG has never succeeded in the UCL and their arrival is certainly a new hope for PSG in the UCL and also Ligue 1 where PSG can still dominate there.

[X-ray]

Neymar wants to leave PSG for Barcelona. And PSG management also agreed to it. Because Neymar is not successful at PSG. And so PSG management does not want to pay high wages to Neymar. PSG Accept Neymar FC Barcelona Return.

However, these are still completely rumours. Nothing can be said for sure. But if neymar does not reduce his wages, Barcelona will not be able to add Neymar to the team. Neymar's wages are much higher now. And Barcelona is not financially stable yet. They will not be able to pay Neymar's high wages. But I think we will see Neymar in barcelona. I am looking forward to see how the Lewa-Neymar duo performs. Barcelona can dominate La Liga if Lewa-Neymar pair play well.

PSG not only agrees, they dream of getting rid of Neymar (by the way, if they get rid of him, then the hole in the salary fund and the fulfillment of the FFP from the presence of Mbappe will be much smaller). Today I heard that they even agree to rent him out, but with a mandatory subsequent redemption. As for moving to Barcelona, given the problems of Barcelona, it looks a bit fantastic (even if part of the salary will be paid by PSG).

I personally think that Neymar may not join Barcelona. However, the players in the Barcelona team are all quality at the moment. However, if Neymar comes to Barcelona, ​​it will be good for him and the Barcelona team will be stronger.

It needs a further confirmation but i have seen that there have been some news already indicated barcelona to take neymar from PSG as loan. I hope that barcelona will take back him again but this is far from being real due to the financial trouble that has been faced by barcelona.
Barcelona can't even register the summer signings due to the financial trouble and how can this club pay this guy? Neymar has a very high salary and it will be weightening barcelona's salary cap.

I prefer to see barcelona to complete its financial trouble first rather than try to take neymar as loan. Barcelona must care with its summer signings first.

Neymar is wanted by teams in both the MLS and Saudi Arabia, although he has also been linked with a return to Barcelona, whom he left to join PSG back in 2017.

According to Sport, a move to the Middle East is close, although he would not remain there for the upcoming season. Instead, a loan move to Barcelona is on the cards, and a contract offer of €12m is being reported.

I also agree more if Neymar wants to stay at PSG with the new recruits at PSG because that won't be any worse for him either. Especially if PSG still really need Neymar for this season because of the departure of other front-line players through this season's transfer market.

As a player who grew up and made his successful career with tiki-taka, Xavi will prioritize ball possession as well as flexibility in tactics and player movements. From Barcelona transfers completed so far we can see that Xavi and Barcelona are aiming at players who are good with dribbles or have very good speed or are able to play at multiple positions.

Those new players will be very helpful for Xavi tactical operations and can help them to adapt better to different opponents.

The arrivals of Asensio, Dembele and Goncalo Ramos are of course very important for PSG and they can also work with Neymar to make PSG stronger this season. Because PSG has never succeeded in the UCL and their arrival is certainly a new hope for PSG in the UCL and also Ligue 1 where PSG can still dominate there.

Asensio has simple playing style but he has good accuracy with his shots and can convert chances to goals. Dembele is considered as PSG solution to replace Neymar in this summer. With Goncalo Ramos, I am not sure about this striker as he only had one good match for Portugal in World Cup 2022. He is young and need more time to prove his ability in PSG.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president, gets annoyed and plans on exploring additional possibilities to punish Kylian Mbappe; he will most likely miss some essential games with PSG and will be kept on the bench in all certain points. nevertheless, based on the looks of things, if a player does not want to renew his contract, there's no reason to panic; rather, let him make his own decision. PSG will punish Kylian Mbappe heavily this season for fretting them out and turning down down every potential offer to move him. The Parisians are unhappy with the club's recent development and are doing everything in their power to punish the Frenchman.

I don't know what's really on Mbappe's mind. with Mbappe's statement that he will stay at PSG until his contract expires, of course, it is a loss for PSG. PSG actually needs him on the front lines for this season. but the punishment they gave to Mbappe seems to require PSG to find a new striker to compete in the Champions League. In Ligue 1 maybe PSG will have no trouble even without Mbappe. but with the Champions League, PSG must have a tough squad.

[OcTradism]

I don't know what's really on Mbappe's mind. with Mbappe's statement that he will stay at PSG until his contract expires, of course, it is a loss for PSG.

In Mbappe's minds, his biggest concerns are money and titles with two most wanted titles are Champions League and Ballon d'Or. He already won World Cup with France in 2018 tournament so it is not his most wanted title now. He has never won any Champions League and no Ballon d'Or so far in his career.

PSG actually needs him on the front lines for this season. but the punishment they gave to Mbappe seems to require PSG to find a new striker to compete in the Champions League. In Ligue 1 maybe PSG will have no trouble even without Mbappe. but with the Champions League, PSG must have a tough squad.

PSG actually needs Mbappe but only if he wants to stay and play for them with full of concentration and best contributions. If he only plays for them because he has to do so in the meantime for a transfer to Real Madrid, he will not contribute his best and reserve his body as most healthiest as possible for his new club and a better contract with them.

In addition, Mbappe is not a striker, he has never been a striker. That position is not where Mbappe can play and show his best so that position is only a temporary one for Mbappe if his club needs him.

As for moving to Barcelona, given the problems of Barcelona, it looks a bit fantastic (even if part of the salary will be paid by PSG).

PSG pay the highest wages to Mbappe. And Neymar has the second highest wages of PSG. According to salarysport.com, Neymar earns a little over 800,000 a week from PSG. It wages much more. On the other hand, Lewandowski has the highest wages in Barcelona. Lewandowski wages a little less than 300,000. Compared to Lewandowski, Neymar's wages are several times higher. And so even if the PSG management wants to give Neymar on loan, the Barcelona team will not be able to add Neymar to the squad. Neymar's wages must be reduced by almost 60%. Or some part of Neymar's wages should be paid to PSG management. I think PSG management will send Neymar to Barcelona even if they pay part of Neymar's salary. Because Neymar's wages are very high.

[Litzki1990]

It is a perplexing situation to contemplate how he could make a return to Barcelona amidst their struggles to register the players they have already bought. Furthermore, the financial burden that would befall Barcelona in affording such a colossal salary for him is equally baffling.

I don’t think it is happening. I don’t think Neymar is going to join Barcelona. Because I am sure that there are other clubs which are going to give him the money that he wants. And Barcelona is going to be in a huge problem if Barcelona brings him in and has to pay a big amount for him. so I don’t think it is happening. But as an injury-prone player, there will be a lot of clubs that are not going to be very interested in Neymar as well.

No European club has so far expressed interest in Neymar. Neymar has two offers from America and Saudi Arabia but has yet to receive an offer from Europe. No confirmed news has been published about Barcelona, there were rumors that Neymar may return to Barcelona, but in the end, Neymar may not return to Barcelona due to financial problems. Neymar wanted to stay in Europe until the 2026 World Cup, but if no European team is interested in taking Neymar at the moment, where could Neymar eventually end up? At the moment, if Neymar signs a contract with a club in Saudi Arabia or America, it may have a bad impact on his career, as a result of which he may miss the 2026 World Cup. He needs to go to a club where both his fitness and performance will be good.

it might be clearer if you read your above reply. some of the people above in your reply have said that there is a possibility that Nerymar will be loaned to Barcelona even though his salary must be cut to pay PSG management but I do not know for sure whether this news is true or not. but if we think it makes a lot of sense than selling Neymar to saudi arabia because even though the saudi arabia team offer is very high Neymar will definitely refuse it because he still wants a career in a european team.
and on the one hand I do not agree with what you said about European teams no one wants to sign Neymar yet and Im sure that if PSG put up a price equal to Neymar performance Im sure many teams are interested in signing him.

In Ligue 1 maybe PSG will have no trouble even without Mbappe. but with the Champions League, PSG must have a tough squad.

In fact, even if Mbappe is not played in the competition next season, PSG has prepared several options to fill the attack line and as we know PSG have borrowed Goncalo Ramos from Benfica for one season, then there are Dembele and Kolo Muani who are still in the process stage. Mbappe doesn't want to lose his loyalty bonus at PSG, therefore he wants to stay until his contract expires and of course he has consulted with various parties to carry out his wish. When he becomes a free agent next year, he won't have to think about the big salary anymore at Real Madrid because he already has so much money. So next year is the time for him to start getting serious about going for the title he has yet to win.

Even if Neymar thinks about his career, it is certain that he will not go to Saudi Arabia at the moment and it is certain that Neymar is not staying at PSG because PSG manager Luis Enrique has clearly said that Neymar is not in his plans and Neymar will have to find a new address. 

Before the transfer market opened, major league teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, Newcastle were interested in Neymar, but at the moment these teams are not taking any steps regarding Neymar's club change. Neymar is interested, he will return to Barcelona if he offers from Barcelona, it is certain that Neymar will return to Barcelona even if his salary is reduced because it is what Neymar wants. If Barcelona do not sign him, one of the Premier League teams may make an offer to sign Neymar. 

The transfer fee could be an obstacle for Neymar to change clubs as PSG may not want to release Neymar for less than 150 million euros.

[jakdanyel]

Neymar's career is already not much different than done. Because he is just having most of his time as injured. While being in this situation how much can he be beneficial for any European team now? The scenario has always been the same in the recent years especially. He starts strongly to the season but after a point he gets injured early and finishes the season like that.

I understand why PSG don't want to keep him anymore as a result. Neymar should just focus on making more money from now on. Besides there is a possibility like UEFA can start to accept Saudi teams to the Champions League as of next season. He should go to Saudi Arabia for not only that reason but also more money.
