French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[rendravolt]

PSG signed Kang-in Lee from Mallorca.I was surprised that PSG, who paid a 22 million euro transfer fee, made such a young transfer for the number 10.They usually buy star players and don't pay much attention to young and talented players lately.
Thiago mendes was transferred from lyon to Al-Rayyan.31 years old frontman was transferred for 4.21 million euros.
PSG managed to sign Manuel ugarte from Sporting for a fee of 60 million euros, as well as Asensio and Skriniar, PSG also managed to add experienced players for free.

There are so many recent signings from PSG for next season's competition and I think they are starting to get serious enough to build a new squad with some players who have important experience in the previous team. There is one more player they have managed to get this summer, namely Lucas Hernandez who is a former Bayern Munich defender and he was just announced a few hours ago. It looks like we will see so many changes in PSG's body and we will wait for coach Luis Enrique's progress to provide the best strategic direction for these players later and hope that they will all be able to find chemistry on the field.

There are reports that about 6 PSG players have contacted club president to complain about comments made by Kylian Mbappe during a recent interview with France Football Magazine. Honestly with the situation at hand now, I think the chances of Mbappe leaving PSG in the coming weeks have increased, amid a growing stand off with club president. Because they have reiterated their stance over the club being ready to sell Mbappe, if he continues to reject a contract extension to 2025, with his current deal running until 2024.

I do not find Mbappe's statements correct. Making negative comments about the team hurts communication at times like these. He is currently becoming the unloved player in the team, if he continues like this, he will get very upset with his teammates. I think he continues to act like this because he wants to leave the club

I have been reading that news too. Mbappe was clearly a controversial statement regarding PSG. It's caused by mbappe was feeling so badly about the decision that already taken by PSG. The club was trying to sell him which is usual thing in the football but mbappe tried to refuse it. Mbappe is playing a trick to fool PSG. PSG chairman has been also threatening him to be sold or extend his contract for more years. Mbappe is now having so many opponents in the club.
It's time for him to leave from the club as soon as possible. The situation is not so conducive anymore for mbappe. Mbappe must think to leave from the club as soon as possible.
He is not having a lot of time to stay even longer in the club. Mbappe must try to decide it as soon as possible.

another new drama about Mbappe and to be honest, I'm getting more and more fed up with the news that Mbappe really doesn't have a decision and PSG doesn't have a clear decision either. both parties between PSG and Mbappe created drama for each other so that Mbappe's situation became more complicated and I only hope that Mbappe immediately leaves PSG to continue his career in another team rather than having to be enemies with one team at PSG.

[shinratensei_]

The Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint Germain controversy seems endless, and I'm not surprise to see news like this. This is like an attempt to boost Mbappe's selling price high at the end of his contract with the PSG club
Paris Saint Germain didn't want to lose Mbappe without getting anything from his departure, while Real Madrid who were the front team didn't want to spend more than they had to offer.

It will conclude upon the expiration of Mbappe's contract next season. Mbappe is only trying to delay it. PSG is very angry to him right now. He was talking about the club so much during his in public interview.
PSG has power to kick disrespectful guy like him to the club. It's a big shame for mbappee. PSG could elicit interest from other leagues if they decrease Mbappe's price tag, which is the only solution. I heard that if EPL clubs are also trying to get him. It's likely madrid gonna have strong competitor to get him.

Mbappe looked like a kid. His controversial comments regarding the club have resulted in individuals questioning Mbappe's respect towards PSG.
This guy is always being so selfish by thinking he is even better compared to the club itself. Im also feeling so angry with his interview. It sounds mbappe wanna destroy PSG's reputation european football.

This is due to their own fault with the privileges given to Mbappe, so Mbappe feels that he is very valuable and thus he will assume that Paris Saint Germain will not dare to act when he makes a mistake.
For me, it is natural that there are players who protest against Mbappe's attitude, and that is a form of reciprocity from what Paris Saint Germain does and also what Mbappe does. now we will see how firm Paris Saint Germain is with their favorite player. Especially since he might only be around for one more season.

[OcTradism]

It will conclude upon the expiration of Mbappe's contract next season. Mbappe is only trying to delay it. PSG is very angry to him right now. He was talking about the club so much during his in public interview.

The player thinks he is god and can do everything he wants in PSG, he is wrong. No single player is bigger than a club and PSG eventually understand it.

PSG has power to kick disrespectful guy like him to the club. It's a big shame for mbappee. PSG could elicit interest from other leagues if they decrease Mbappe's price tag, which is the only solution. I heard that if EPL clubs are also trying to get him. It's likely madrid gonna have strong competitor to get him.

Like him or not, they know they will lose him in a next summer if they won't offer him another more crazy offer than two summers ago. I believe PSG won't repeat a same mistake after all the drama Mbappe created after he signed a new contract with PSG.

Mbappe looked like a kid. His controversial comments regarding the club have resulted in individuals questioning Mbappe's respect towards PSG.
This guy is always being so selfish by thinking he is even better compared to the club itself. Im also feeling so angry with his interview. It sounds mbappe wanna destroy PSG's reputation european football.

He is actually not a matured player and his career grows faster than many young players. We think he is matured enough but at his age, many young players still struggle to find a main position in their clubs. His mentality does not grow up quickly enough with his career and many times he reacted like a teenager player.

Same , I'm also more and more fed up with drama about Mbappe. But I heard PSG gave Mbappe deadlines until the end of July to extend his contract, if Mbappe doesn't sign new contract extension so then PSG will sell him to another club. If there are good offers then PSG will sell, and this situation may will be an advantage for Real Madrid to sign Mbappe, but the transfer price is also still very expensive.

Looks Mbappe have been frustrated with PSG can't winning Champion League actually after rival Haaland success winning UCL in this season with Manchester City, he can't stay longer with PSG without has promising performance in Champion League and every season always not become the champion. But little controversial about his statement will stay with PSG until his contract over on June 2024 but he hasn't ideas for extending contract.

Mbappe have been loyal with PSG, last two season he extended contract with PSG almost become free agent and Real Madrid one step closer for signing him, but last warning from PSG management looks they not respect for Mbappe what his contribution for PSG.

It would be very, very difficult for a player to stay at his old club if there was an official offer from Real Madrid. More or less media coverage will be very influential for these players, and Mbappe is no exception. On the other hand, when Madrid wants you, logically the Champions League is one step closer to achieving. Yes, as you said Mbappe has become a never-ending conversation in the transfer market this time and it seems that it will only subside when PSG has officially sold him.

With the deadline given by PSG management to Mbappe, it will be a decision we have been waiting for. Reportedly PSG have prepared a square off if Mbappe really leaves, Victor Osimhen is their target to replace Mbappe's role, Osimhen is the name most often mentioned after Mbappe in the transfer market. If this is true then we are being shown the recruitment of the two most expensive players in this transfer market, PSG and Madrid will buy anything with their money.

Kylian Mbappe's conflict with Paris SG is a big problem but it will greatly benefit other clubs like Real madrid who are very ready to accept Kylian Mbappe and become their mainstay player.
I see from this conflict it seems that Kylian Mbappe just wants to immediately have clarity to extend the contract or sell him immediately but Paris SG prefers to stall without clarity and I call him Kylian Mbappe just like a puppet that Paris SG has to get bigger money.
Everything was proven from the owner of Paris SG who said he would sell Kylian Mbappe with the highest bid.

It's normal, every off-season is the one who flickers the most in the news. Mbappe in an indeterminate state, like once Ronaldo, and until he decides his future fate, he will remain in the spotlight of the media. I think that he himself does not like this situation, of course he would like to play until the summer of 2024 for PSG and then go to Real Madrid as a free agent and receive all the bonuses and payments, but it is clear that PSG will not let him go just like that, because they will lose a lot of money because of this.

[bitgolden]

As a great team, then I think losing one key player will not make the team bad. Because anyway, the coming and going of players will certainly always happen and with that, then of course the club and also the coach must still be prepared to deal with the situation by having other alternatives. Because I think, PSG's problem in every transfer window always seems to have concerns about Mbappe leaving. This is certainly something that is not good, because they have too high expectations and or only rely on just one player and that is something bad.

But, PSG is not a "great" team, they barely won the league this year and they have lost at UCL miserably again and losing Mbappe wouldn't be just one player because they already lost Messi as well.

You can like or dislike Messi, you think he contributed a lot or a little, but they have not replaced him, which means there is no good player there anymore at all, and Neymar may stay or leave but even if he stays he is constantly injured all the time, so if Mbappe leaves as well then they would not have the big three most games and as a team that barely won the league last season with all three, and not have any of those that three should cause them to be terrible and lose. They were barely over the edge, they would be under it without a doubt.

[Slow death]

Enrique is still on the way to reforming its club. Im only counting on enrique to create another strong squad after some stars have been leaving from the club. There are still neymar and mbappe. These players are good enough in building good attacking lines.

Yes, of course he is currently working hard to manage and rebuild PSG. Moreover, there are still a number of rumors that hit the club, especially rumors regarding Mbappe, who is a key player for PSG itself. Enrique must also have some backup plans in hand in case something surprising should happen. It may not be easy, but he will satisfy himself to be able to handle it. Neymar himself has failed to go to Chelsea and his actual work contract is still up to 2025. So, he will continue to stay at the French giants for now.

A backup plan is really needed by Luis Enrique just in case Mbappe decides to do something unexpected, such as leaving PSG this summer. This of course will have quite an impact on PSG's performance because Mbappe is a key player, especially as the attacking position he holds is very important. Maybe Luis Enrique after being appointed as coach, he will immediately start giving the names of the players he really needs and hope that PSG can negotiate with the club where the player is. I think if this is according to the predictions of each PSG internal party then everything will be resolved properly.

There is a strong possibility that Mbappe will move to Real Madrid on a five-year deal. Since there is a big potential, of course Mbappe needs a player like him as a replacement. But right now I don't see a player like Mbappe that PSG could sign next. The situation of PSG is not very good, then if Mbappe leaves PSG, then it will be very difficult for this club to organize the team. Since Mbappe is likely to leave the club, Luis Enrique must already think of an alternative if the rumors are true that they can bring that alternative player into their team as Mbappe's replacement.

So far, there has been no move by Real Madrid to sign Mbappe, not even a rumor on Fabrizio Romano's Instagram, which can be seen here:

https://www.instagram.com/fabriziorom/

it could be that real madrid held a grudge against him for making real madrid a clown last season, i remember that the president of real madrid said in an interview that they probably gave up on mbappe, i don't remember what website i saw that on , maybe it was on TV in my country, I don't remember. but this delay that real madrid is having in not moving to sign mbappe is very strange, especially when there are not even any rumors. in my opinion mbappe's options are very few, which means he will have to stay at psg, there is no other team to pay for mbappe, and mbappe's management was very smart, they know very well that all teams have already spent a lot money on hires

and at this moment no team is going to spend a lot of money on buying mbappe knowing that he could become free in a short time and with pressure from psg management so mbappe will be forced to extend the contract for many years, I still find it strange that the PSG do not think about selling neymar who adds nothing to the team, even so PSG keeps neymar, this is something that I cannot understand, another thing that I do not understand are the signings that psg is making, they are ridiculous and I do not see psg going far in the champions league next season and even in Ligue 1 they will have difficulties to win the league

another new drama about Mbappe and to be honest, I'm getting more and more fed up with the news that Mbappe really doesn't have a decision and PSG doesn't have a clear decision either. both parties between PSG and Mbappe created drama for each other so that Mbappe's situation became more complicated and I only hope that Mbappe immediately leaves PSG to continue his career in another team rather than having to be enemies with one team at PSG.

If there are good offers then PSG will sell, and this situation may will be an advantage for Real Madrid to sign Mbappe, but the transfer price is also still very expensive.

In recent weeks, our attention has been more and more on Mbappe. if I'm being honest, actually I don't really like to discuss Mbappe, PSG and Madrid rumours. In fact, I prefer to avoid discussing the PSG striker's rumours. however, in the end there was no other choice but to participate in discussing it. and yep, this little boss of PSG is now making noise again.

IMO, ideally, PSG let go of a player like this. privileges that the club gave him, made him feel very special. if Madrid want him in the transfer market this summer, PSG better let him go, because that would be better for the PSG team itself. We are aware that Mbappe is a great player and he is in great demand by most clubs. the problem is, the price tag is too expensive which makes other clubs prefer to target other players. however, Madrid could bring him to the Santiago Bernabeu if they are interested in using his services ahead of the new season.
supposing that if Mbappe leaves, PSG can look for a replacement. in fact, they could have offered Osimhen a hefty salary. bottom line, PSG would be better off without Mbappe IMO. thus, Luis Enrique can build his new team according to his wishes. I'm sure, even without Mbappe, PSG can still bring in the players they want.

In fact PSG have no problem with money. If I was in their place I wouldn't just make any effort to sell Mbappe. It seems like they are going to do the same also. I mean that they just said that they were open for offers to sign him from any team as long as he doesn't intend to extend his contract. This is enough action to take for PSG.

If no team make an offer like 200 million euros for his transfer fee then PSG would just continue with Mbappe for one last season. I think that most probably he would sign a contract with a team in January and that team would be Real Madrid. But still PSG can go for one last try for the Champions League title while they have Mbappe in the squad.

Luis Enrique is here also in the end so who knows what is waiting for us next season.

In as much as we know that Paris Saint Germaine is club that's financially buoyant, they wouldn't want to let a quality player like Kylian Mbappe leave the club without finding a earning over a 100 million pounds in his transfer and that's why the club immediately informed the player of  their plans to sell him off immediately thought knew that he's had a secret agreement to join join Real Madrid in 2024 summer after his contract with PSG has expired.
If no club meets PSG's terms and Mbappe remains at the club beyond this summer transfer window, the club will lose because he'll leave for free at the end of next season

Now the conflict between Mbappe and PSG is heating up especially with Mbappe's last statement saying that PSG is only a split team and only as a participation team making the drama from PSG and Mbappe even more intense for now.
With the current conditions it seems that there is no more reason for Mbappe to stay especially with a criticism like this to his own team that has provided enormous resources so that one way for him now is to leave PSG.
But as you said, PSG also does not want to lose this player cheaply even though there are so many antics made by Mbappe to make him leave quickly but PSG still hasn't budged on their 200 million price.

It is true that money doesn't matter as much for the sheikhs clubs and this becomes even more evident due to all the transfers they are making now with those absurd salaries. But I think in terms of Mbabbe it still hurts them if he can leave the club without a transfer fee to be paid for him. I think they wouldn't care about 100 million, but 250 million or whatever they want for him is quite a bit of money. Or maybe they just push for his decision now because they silently hope that he does stay because he wants to receive the loyalty bonus as well. So either a club is willing to pay that much or they keep him, let him go for nothing and even pay him the loyalty bonus. Everything is still possible.

Messi gave 30 assists in two years and you are saying that he should be thinking more about passing the ball? I have never seen someone being better at assisting goals than Messi. You can literally see that Messi himself is one of the best strikers ever because he exactly knows where he needs the ball in order to score and he is also able to pass the ball exactly like that. Mbappe and Messi have compatible talents , but Neymar might have been one too much of that kind of player.
Mbappe will be missing Messi as someone who knew how to create chances out of nothing. When a pass doesn't seem to be promising, Messi made it work regardless of what anyone else thinks. He is gifted with his left foot.

I think Lionel Messi had actually done a good job with the passing. He was actually passing even in the final third of the field. He was also doing a good job as a midfielder sometimes. He was building up the play from the midfield. The midfield of PSG was not that good, to be honest. He was actually providing good support. But of course, if it was a genuine midfielder instead of Lionel Messi, he was going to do a better job. At least in the midfield area.

Anyway, I believe it is going to be a good squad under Luis Enrique. The squad is also going to be very different in my opinion. I hope they will be able to actually sell Mbappé 400 million or more. Otherwise, it is going to be hard for them to actually create a squad that is going to be strong.

I agree if you are referring to the potential defensive work a midfielder is also supposed to do. But considering the quality of Messi's passes, I can't think of a player even in the midfield who is better at it than Messi. He has this outlandish feeling of how to give the ball the right touch to exactly land where a striker would love the ball to bounce first or even not bounce at all. The sharpness and precision in his passing is one of a kind in my opinion. This is all about taste and someone may say that there is a better player with higher accuracy, but when it comes to giving assists to his team mates, it is unbelievable.
