Takumi Minamino is moving on a permanent transfer to AS Monaco. Minamino was Monaco's priority and are very happy with the deal. 15 million euros  +3 as add ons is a great price for an impact player. Especially in this market.

Takumi Minamino has exits Liverpool for AS Monaco. Perhaps it was good one for AS Monaco since he was their priority in the transfer window. Takumi will adapts to his new team, besides he wasn't too use to start games for Jurgen Klopp's side. He was transferred for a fee of €15m plus €3m in add-ons. Takumi been kept on the bench was not his fault though he choose Liverpool who has many key players, now he has realized his mistakes and sealed a permanent move to his new team.

it will be a big advantage for AS Monaco, they made a very good transfer. Takumi Minamino is a very good striker even though he didn't get much playing time at Liverpool and I think that's very reasonable because the rivals at Liverpool are very strong and it is very difficult to get a place in Liverpool.
Takumi Minamino is 27 years old, that's a very mature age for a striker. I'm sure with the quality he has Minamino will be able to adapt quickly to Monaco.

AS Monaco have sealed a deal with Liverpool with the permanent signing of  Takumi Minamino for a fee of €15m plus add-ons €3m. The Japanese forwarder will be looking forward to play in France next season. But he will have to adapt to the football pattern there since he rarely start games for Liverpool because there are enough keyplayers in Frontlines of the Red's which eventually made Takumi finds it difficult to start games. He needs a new team that the coach will make him a starter in League games and looks like he just found the perfect club to play full-time games.

I welcome Japanese player Takumi Minamino to join Monaco. He has been with Liverpool for the last 3 seasons, but he has had very few chances to play in the starting XI. He needs a team where he can stay on the field for 90 minutes. So I think the Monaco team is the best choice for Takumi Minamino. Takumi Minamino is an experienced player enough, he can adapt quickly with Monaco.

In Liverpool, Takumi has very little chance to play even in unimportant cup. The loan to Southampton gives Takumi more opportunities to play but he failed to get a solid position there. Moving to Monaco can be good because Ligue 1 is at lower level, less competitive than Premier League. He is not too young so he should use his next 3 to 4 years very wisely rather than wasting a few more years in Liverpool.

The Kop bought Luiz Diaz and reduced chance for Takumi so he has to decide to leave, find another opportunity or stay there and waste time. He decide to leave that looks to be a smart one.

Christophe Galtier is rumoured for the manager position of PSG now but I'm having my doubts about him. Because we have never watched him in action with one of the top teams in the world so far. As far as I can remember, the biggest teams he has worked with so far are Lille and Nice. I know that he was managing Lille when they reached the Ligue 1 title. However, his only successes are this and a French League Cup with St Etienne. I don't think this is enough to be the manager of a huge team like PSG.

There is another rumor that Zidane can be a coach for PSG too. Rumor is PSG still keep to negotiate with both Galtier and Zidane. Their priority is Zidane and Galtier is only their choice if they can not convince Zidane to take their coach position even they are very ready to give Zidane some special rights.

Galtier is considered as a Mourinho version of France. I did not know about him before reading news about him and PSG recent months. He looks to have a very good CV in Ligue 1 but can not say he is better than Pochettino.

I'm not sure about Takumi Minamino now. He has been an average player for Liverpool and he has done a decent job when he had the chance in the lineup. He scored 10 goals in 22 games last season which is really impressive statistics of course. Monaco can be a team that he can have the chance of playing much more than he did at Liverpool. Monaco generally bring much younger talents but they must have seen good things in Minamino. I wonder if they are thinking of filling Tchouameni's place too.

Mbappe argues that he stays at PSG because he wants to win the champions league (the reality is Money) which I think it's still mission impossible if Real Madrid, Liverpool, and City are the participant. Moreover, they haven't found a suitable coach yet, they expect Zidane, a very suitable coach for the Champions League title but, it will only be a dream when Zidane is only interesting as a national coach, only Ancelotti who suitable, so is it possible Don Carlo to PSG?

I think all PSG need to win the Champions League is a really good coach... PSG probably have the best squad right now, at least no worse than Man City or Real... If the new coach can organize a good game of all players, PSG can win any team... At home they are second to none, they need to prove to Europe that they can perform well, not only in France...

I don't remember when City last won the Champions League  Instead, you would rather remember Bavaria or even Barcelona (although you should not expect any achievements from it in the coming years). Such top coaches as Zidane or Carlo, in my opinion, will not go to train such muddy clubs as PSG. Maybe only if the bosses of PSG finally despair and offer space money + real powers (so that you can kick out lazy people like Neymar or old players like Messi). But that time has not yet come.

[SirLancelot]

Zidane seems to be the perfect candidate to coach the Paris St Germain team. I think that he is very good in the group and that there is hardly anyone who gets more awe and respect from the player group and management. Zidane has also won the Champions League 3 years in a row with Madrid and has just done very well. He has a good view of football and was a great player himself. For the competition it will not matter much who becomes the coach because they will be the whistling champion. I'm still curious what Messi thinks if Zidane becomes coach.

There is no doubt most of the peoples were happy about Zidane as he was favorite to join this team but suddenly due to some unknown reasons he rejected this offer and now waiting for French national team coaching job which is going to empty after this year's world cup but here is also we have doubt that current coach can extend his contact with this all he still rejects PSG coach offer was shocking for many.

I read in few places most chances he leaves this offer due to PSG inner policies they are giving few players special treatment which is not good for any team and specially which are looking for higher targets, so they need to do some fair policy and treatment for all if they want to be Champions of Europe in near future.

Minamino is a pretty good player actually but at Liverpool it's clear he won't be the first choice because regardless of what many great players are here, it makes it very difficult for Minamino to break into the main squad.
Monaco is not a bad place because at least here he can also be a part of the main squad. What he has to do is continue to do well in order to be an option here because the situation is different to Liverpool.

City and PSG are desperate for the Champions League title. They are throwing money like it was nothing, to get players and prohibit the other teams from getting them.
It is hard to predict how good Neymar, Messi, or Ramos will do when they switch team..
For Zidane, I believe his goal is to train the French national team and Deschamps will most likely retire (or be sacked) after Qatar World Cup so we will see him soon, by 2023 tho

I think Zidane is very very important to get for them, and if they can do that it would be awesome and it will work out great. However, if they can't get Zidane, I still think that they should look further than Galtier, he is not the type of manager they should get. What's going to happen if Zidane says no, like even with a silly amount like 20-30 million, he says no, not like dude needs money anyway. In that case Galtier will be their manager and it will certainly not work out well for them.

I would pick pochettino over Galtier and they are switching these two for some reason. Can't they just get another manager? Isn't there one that they could afford to get and be better than Galtier? Are there any free agent managers out there this year?

Even the possibility of Zinedine Zidane to sign for PSG is making the fans very excited already as it seems. However I'm doubting this to happen now considering that they say Zidane is thinking of a France national team job rather than working for PSG now. PSG can still change his mind too maybe and I hope so. I don't think that France need Zidane now as they are good with Deschamps. It would be much better to see him managing PSG and this can be very helpful for PSG to achieve the Champions League title finally too.

You can't imagine how much money has been spent by Nasser Al-Khelaifi to build the squad into a team that really thirsts for the UCL Trophy. The PSG squad is inhabited by star players such as Neymar, Messi, Mbappe, but in fact last season they still had to accept a bitter defeat and had to fall in this prestigious competition. Now Nasser Al-Khelaifi's ambition is really getting hotter this summer where he can persuade Mbappe to stay at PSG until 2025. Even Nasser Al-Khelaifi did not hesitate to fire Mauricio Pochettino in order to bring in a coach who really has experience and  big mentality in champions league but who the coach is is still a big question mark. Is that the only way for PSG to win the UCL Trophy next season.

Did you miss today's latest news? PSG have reportedly reached an agreement with Galtier and that means there is no hope for Zidane there.
According to Marca, after failing to convince Zidane they are looking for a new Alternative and now Nice coach Galtier has been brought in for a deal under 10 million euros.
Although there are indeed many who doubt Galtier at this time but indeed when it was agreed then indeed we just have to wait for how this coach's progress at PSG.

PSG problem is not only the coach, though we all know every coach plays a vital role in a team, the coach is  a person who controls and direct every activities going on in the club, so if the team are not per

PSG all stars are a team. Whoever comes to the position of coach, they will be champions in France. But if Zidane had taken over the team, PSG could have turned into an assertive team in the champions league. I think this was a good opportunity for PSG. But they could not evaluate. They are still a strong team. Christophe Galtier will also be successful.

well these two clubs are making a lot of money with these great players, for example or I read that Messi brought a lot of profit to PSG with the sale of shirts and other things and the more money these two clubs have the greater their appetite for having the most expensive players, the problem in all of this is whether their coach will be able to win the champions league. The champions league is a competition where in my opinion I would win by luck, when I say luck I mean that it is not the kind of competition where a team can say: "I'm going to sign all the best players in the world and with that I'm going to win champions league". and the team that thinks like this is deceiving itself

[jakdanyel]

I started seeing the probability of Zidane to manage PSG as lower now. It depends on whether he goes for the France job actually. Deschamps' contract is running on December 31, 2022. Therefore Zidane is going to need to be patient until the World Cup ends. However I wonder if France are even thinking of parting their ways with Deschamps too. Maybe they will extend his contract depending on his success in the tournament. If we take this into account I reckon PSG will continue with Pochettino or maybe they will sign an unexpected name.

With so many star players that PSG have, it should be whoever coaches PSG will surely easily win the Ligue 1 trophy. The difficult thing is to win
the Champions League trophy, because PSG have fired their coach several times for failing to win the Champions League trophy. The next victim
was Maurico Pochettino, although Pochettino managed to make PSG win the Ligue 1 trophy this season, but because of PSG's poor performance
in the Champions League, PSG management had to sack Pochettino. Now PSG are immediately signing Christophe Galtier as a new coach,
after failing to convince Zinedine Zidane to become PSG coach. To get Galtier PSG simply pay a compensation fee of 10 million euros, smaller than
the cost of sacking Pochettino of 15 million euros. It is likely that PSG will officially sack Pochettino and inaugurate Galtier as a new coach at
the beginning of next week.
