French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

I don't think neymar will leave psg, i heard that he agreed to extend his contract with the frensh club which is the right move for him i don't think newcastle will be able to compete for the top spots so its not interesting for him, i don't think him leaving will have a big impact on psg i don't know why but his performance has declined in the last couple of years, one of neymar flaws is that he is not a serious player if he get serious he will be the best player in the world.

I quite agree with you that it looks like he will not move to Newcastle because Newcastle are not a strong team in the EPL, Neymar always wants to win every game and become the league champion. But, is it true that he has already extended his contract? can you provide an official news article?

[MinoRaiola]

It's true as you said if he is 27 years old and I think he has 3 years left for him to show his best performance in football, because I think if a football player is over the age of 30 it will be difficult to develop well later, especially during this time we know that tolisso is a player who often suffers serious injuries so I think if OL can't expect too much from him, his failure at bayern munchen is not because he is a bad player but his frequent injuries make him fail to develop and OL should pay attention to that before returning bring it home even though for free.

He has a market value of 15,000,000€ and if Lyon manage to get at place in the Europa League next year, he will attract international interest and they can sell him at 28-29 years. His contract runs until 2027, so another 5 years. He will also meet an ex-Munich player Jerome Boateng, he was there until 2021. So Tolisso has a lot of old friends in Lyon. He will feel good there.

Neymar's problems are Neymar's problems. I do not understand the strategy of PSG who want to get rid of him before Messi - in my opinion they have already received all the profits (PR, shirt sales, etc.) from the transfer of Messi and then he will only pull the team to the bottom. If they want to start updating the team, then they definitely shouldn’t start with Neymar.

Messi has yet to adapt to the PSG team. Because the previous season the PSG team had various internal problems. Their match strategy was weak. The mutual understanding between the players was not good. Hopefully Messi will play better with PSG next season. Neymar, on the other hand, is completely different. Neymar has been with PSG for several years. And every season he has been badly injured. So he could not stay with the squad for half the season. This may be the reason why PSG management does not want to keep Neymar in the team.

For some reason, Mbappe had a great season despite PSG's alleged problems with the game, and for example, Ibrahimovic instantly adjusted to PSG when he moved there. Maybe we should admit that for some reason (age or that he is a one-team player) Messi is no longer good, and not wait until he turns 40?
Neymar's injuries are a problem, but nothing is fatal at the moment.

PSG should give them one more season and these players should stay in Paris one more season. They had one full season to build up their connections and in their second position together, they might play better and can bring PSG to bit titles like Champions League.

Actually I'm rooting against the moneybags (PSG and City) so I'll even be happy if they both stay 
I just didn’t write that I don’t understand the logic of PSG bosses.

Several media outlets have reported on his extension. Now Neymar is committed to PSG through June 2027! It's weird that PSG associations automatically renew their contracts on July 1. Apparently, Neymar's entourage is very confident that he will have one of the best seasons of his career. I know Neymar won't leave Paris until he wins the UCL. His football used to be my favorite in Barcelona, but now not anymore and I don't understand why!

[SirLancelot]

Neymar got an offer from Newcastle United, even Joelinton as the Newcastle striker said that number 10 was waiting for Neymar there. I have 2 questions here.

1. Do you think Neymar will join Newcastle and leave PSG?
2. If Neymar's transfer to Newcastle takes place, do you think PSG's performance will decline for next season?

Give a reasonable response or answer, LOL.

This would make a good sense to be fair. I mean Newcastle is a brand new team under new management. And even though I believe that this dirty blood money should never be sportswashed, and would always root against them and hope they relegate and never recover, I still think that Neymar individually could make the most out of it there. They are SO rich that the entire GDP of a whole nation is under their fingertips if needed, 300+ billion dollars personally and even more where that came from.

So, he could ask for literally 50+ or even 100 million and could be getting paid that much if the owner agreed. Would not make sense, but not outside of affordable space for them, hell they can pay 1 billion per year and still can afford it so it is no problem for Newcastle.

Has Pochetino parted ways with League 1 Champions ?
What's the update on the appointment of a new Coach ?
Neymar's movement borders me alot, wondering who wants to take such a player with  injury worries.
Doubt if Mbappe can win the Champions League at PSG.

But when faced with a tempting offer why not.
We know that Newcastle are not a good club right now in terms of performance, but let's not forget the wealth they have. It was clear when there was an attractive offer from Newcastle why Neymar still continued to stay at PSG because in this case the power of money also applies in transfers.

Galtier will replace Pochettino in PSG, the announcement will be held next week, Tuesday maybe.
Neymar contract with PSG will end in 2027.. I doubt they will find a way to let him go without losing much money or maybe a loan offer after the next season in case he wasn't that helpful for the club.
PSG winning CL isn't a dream, they can but they should try their best. A team with such stars shouldn't struggle like that, it is more powerful than a national team

from what i read this neymar issue became more controversial because coach Christophe Galtier told Luís Campos that he wants neymar next season so he can implement a system a 3-5-2 tactical system with neymar playing behind of Messi and Kylian Mbappe. I think that with this news then neymar will not leave PSG. I hope this new coach knows what he's doing, because neymar can never play all season without having an injury that prevents him from playing many games, PSG is spending money on him

PSG can win the champions league for sure, I was hoping to see Zidane as amanager for them but it was too good to be true, those rumors didn't last long, Galtier is still a good option for them, they already have a very good team they just need a good coach with a great strategy, I'm definitely in favor of PSG to win the league of course but also the champions league.

According to L'Equipe, Paris Saint Germain's contract with Neymar was automatically extended on July 1 until 2027, and sources in Neymar's entourage are confident that next season will be one of the best in his career. Well, a rather unexpected turn in this story, because quite recently, Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi made unequivocal statements about those who want to stay in the comfort zone leaving the club, which many took as a hint towards Neymar. Well, if Galtier agrees to work with a football player, then he knows how to use him correctly in his constructions. It will be interesting then to see what will change in the tactics of the club after the arrival of the new head coach.

Neymar is one of best players and in PSG, he is one of best ones too. Any coach will prefer to have Neymar in their team but it is just Neymar has a record transfer and his salary is too high. Therefore people ask for bigger contributions and titles from Neymar. If he does not receive too high salary, pressure on him should be much lower.

Working with a new coach will be challenge for all players in PSG as Galtier is a very disciplined coach just like Morinho. He will punish players who don't obey club rules.

Neymar made a smart condition in his contract with PSG and honestly, I don't know why PSG was dumb like this. Expanding a contract with players from 30+ years old is risky. Their performance can decrease dramatically afger their 30s and when they lose it, they hardly to get their best back. Neymar as we known is not too professional to maintain his body and fitness. I am very doubtful that he will be able to play well in next 2 or 3 years.

Maybe PSG just wanted to convince Neymar to sign a contract with them and did not think too far. They just hoped to win Champions League with Neymar in one to three seasons.

Olympique Lyon landing the Frenchman, Corentin Tolisso on a free transfer is a good news for the team as they now reinforced their Midfield with the former Bayern high class midfielder. Tolisso will face new challenges in his former team Lyon which he left back in 2013. Tolisso signed a five year deal with Bayern Munich, his current contract expired June 30, 2022, and it certain that Bayern Munich don't have intentions of extending his contract. Tolisso is back to his former team on a free transfer and we will be looking at a new Tolisso.

Lyon managed to bring back Corentin Tolisso, after 5 years playing for Bayern and managed to help Bayern win many trophies. This means that
Tolisso has become an experienced player that is desperately needed by Lyon, especially since Tolisso is still 27 years old, which is a golden age
for football players. It is not surprising that Lyon dared to give Corentin Tolisso a five-year contract, I believe Tolisso can make a big contribution
to Lyon.

Not only was Tolisso sent home for free by Lyon, Alexandre Lacazette, who was out of contract at Arsenal, was also taken back by Lyon.  As with
Tolisso, Lacazette previously joined Arsenal as a Lyon player, even Lacazette is one of Lyon's best goal machines. It seems that Lyon's poor
performance in the 2021/2022 season has forced Lyon's management to take strategic steps, by bringing in players who already know Lyon's
game well. So Tolisso and Lacazette, who have played for Lyon for a long time before, will not take long to adapt. Hopefully next season Lyon
can perform better and at least be in the top 5, so that they can play in European competitions.

With a few issues now it seems this will be more interesting.
Neymar's issue remains unclear as of now and for now there is news that they also want Ronaldo who says he will leave Old Trafford if the offer is right.
This will probably provide another drama like Mbappe did some time ago and I think for next season it's also possible that Neymar will leave because the PSG leadership doesn't seem to want him.

this will be very profitable for Lyon, they can get it for free. Corentin Tolisso is only 27 years old and so it is still possible for him to contribute a lot to the Lyon team, in terms of quality Tolisso is still very good.
and because he used to be with Lyon for 5 years now it might be a little easier for him to adapt quickly to Lyon.

Galtier had been made the man to lead PSG to their champions league trophy next season.I actually thought it was going to be Zidane who will take on the job,but those rumours were far from the truth.PSG needs a man that can manage those big players at the team and blend them together to be able to produce something reasonable for the club.Neymar,Messi and Mbape are three big players at the team that can make things happen at that club if the coach is able to manage them well and reignite the winning spirit in them.
It is no doubt that the champions league is really going to be tough next season because of the transfer of different players to different clubs of their choice.It is yet to be seen whether the man they've chosen for the job will be able to deliver the team or not.

the rumors of them bringing in galtier to the team, as the new head coach sounds so shocken to me, cause it was far from what many of us expected, cause alot of people what's expecting zidane to be announced as their new manager. perhaps PSG problem is well cleared to us, they needed a fearless coach, a coach that can do what it takes to bring out the best of the team, a coach that's admired and respected by everybody. that's the more reason i was expecting zidane, cause he has this qualities, perhaps bringing in galtier is not bad if only he can handle the team expectedly, though we can't come to conclusion, next season will decide that.

1. Do you think Neymar will join Newcastle and leave PSG?

What would Neymar expect to leave PSG if he joined Newcastle United?
If Neymar wants to leave PSG, I don't think Newcastle United is his club. Neymar's recent condition at PSG is reportedly not so comfortable because the media there is closer to Mbappe.

2. If Neymar's transfer to Newcastle takes place, do you think PSG's performance will decline for next season?

No. PSG's performance will not decrease if Neymar leaves PSG. It's better for Neymar to stay one more season at PSG because the compatibility with Messi will blend in like at Barcelona in my opinion and the PSG boss should not be hasty in making a decision if the rumors of Neymar leaving Paris are true.

The big responsibility lies with Galtier because PSG's biggest target is the UCL trophy. Even though they have expensive players inside, PSG's cohesiveness is not yet clear, this is what makes them bad compared to Madrid, Man City, Bayern, or Liverpool. but galtier is famous for his surprises, and maybe in his hands PSG will get the UCL trophy next season, which will also be his first UCL trophy as a coach.
