French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[MusaMohamed]

Mpabbe is really still very young, and if PSG offer him a contract with even more pay, then this is a great option for him to make a lot of money. The most important thing is not to sign contracts for 10 years, as was recently published in the media, let it be such a contract that could allow him to leave the team if he cannot win the Champions League with PSG. If that's his deepest desire, that he can try to achieve it on another team.

He does not want better offer from PSG or at least it is how he shown and he even reacted very negatively after PSG put him into the transfer market and did not call him for the summer training tournament. With such negative reaction, Mbappe only opens the exit gate in PSG more and now he has another offer, this one is from Saudi.

The offer is he signs a contract with a club there, plays only one season and can move to Real Madrid, only Madrid in the next summer. The salary offer is about $200M for a single season that is good and better than spending time in PSG on bench and we know a next summer will be Euro 2024.

The offer from PSG is too long with 10 years and I am sure Mbappe will not be brave enough to bet his career with PSG in 10 more years. He will not sign that contract with PSG so no more option, he will move this summer or next one.

[W Jr.]

Losing Messi is not a problem for PSG, because the player who will continue to be maintained is Mbappe. At a young age with great potential, it is not surprising that PSG is so difficult to sell and release Mbappe. So yes, maybe we will also get some crazy steps or fantastic ways that PSG might make later, of course to make Mbappe stay longer at PSG. But unfortunately, Mbappe soul may already be in Real Madrid, so whatever method PSG will make may still fail because Mbappe already has a strong choice to leave.

I think Mbappe now wants to leave Paris. I find this also logical because if you are one of the best players in the world, you seek success. We saw how sad he was because he couldn't win the World Cup despite playing successful matches and getting an award in the World Cup. I think Mbappe will leave the team in this transfer window.

[CLS63]

Messi's departure wouldn't be an enormous problem for PSG. I must admit of course that his contribution to the team so far has been really great. However the thing I mean is that PSG were already strong before Messi came as well. They even reached the Champions League finale in his absence - 2019/20 season. Hence PSG can make up for his absence again from now on as well.

But Mbappe is the most critical player for PSG undoubtedly. He has always played the biggest role in PSG's successes so far. PSG are also aware of it that they offered an enormous contract to him later on. However now there is really no way they are keeping him longer.

Mbappe has made up his mind to leave now or next summer at the latest.

[Iranus]

Mbappe wants to stay with PSG this season. And he wants to join as a free agent next season. In this, he can get a large signing fee from the new club. And perhaps that's why the Real Madrid squad isn't showing much interest in Mbappe right now. They will try Mbappe again in the team as a free agent. And I think Mbappe is being closely monitored by Madrid management. If clubs like Liverpool or Chelsea show more interest in adding Mbappe to the team, Real Madrid might pay a higher price for Mbappe. Or Madrid management will try to bring Mbappe into the team next season.

I think Mbappe is more suitable at Madrid, that's why Madrid has always been associated with Mbappe as a substitute for Benzema on the front lines. Of course, Madrid really needs time to get Mbappe in free agency and it will be difficult for other clubs to spend big money to buy it at this time. I think if next season Mbappe really moves to Madrid, it won't be a surprise for us.

Because this news is already everywhere, of course PSG is worried that they hope Mbappe will extend his contract or sell it immediately, on the one hand Mbappe wants to finish his contract with PSG, there are too many rumors everywhere about Mbappe's news in Madrid. This has always been profitable traffic for the media out there.

Real Madrid would definitely be a better choice for Mbappe than PSG. Mbappe was in PSG for a long time. Although he won the Ligue 1 title, he could not win the Champions League. Moreover, Mbappe did not win the Ballon d'Or. Joining Real Madrid would boost Mbappe's chances of winning the Champions League and Ballon d'Or.

If Mbappe does not renew his contract with PSG then PSG will not keep Mbappe in the team. The important thing is that Luis Enrique will not be interested in making Mbappe part of his match plan for just one season. This is why Mbappe will have to leave the club this season if his contract is not renewed. PSG may sell Mbappe to a Premier League team if Real Madrid is not interested in spending more money for Mbappe.

[X-ray]

Everything about mbappe become very complex. There was a new if french footballsers union already threaten to sue PSG caused by its treatment to the mbappe. To be honest, if the intervention by french footballers union will be making everything become very complicated.
The only parties that can solve the problem between mbappe and PSG were themselves. I think that there shall not be an intervention from the 3rd party. PSG is not yet finding a solution with mbappe. The problem was on mbappe's side.
There's nothing wrong with what already done by PSG. The club wants to secure its money. 3rd party like that was only taking advantage from this problem.

The French footballers' union has threatened to take legal action against PSG for its treatment of Kylian Mbappe.

Mbappe has been left out of the Ligue 1 champions' squad for their tour of Japan, with the club now attempting to force through an exit for their superstar. The France captain has revealed he will leave the Parc des Princes at the end of his contract, which expires next summer.

PSG are desperate to receive at least some fee in return for their record goalscorer and are taking measures to move him on immediately. The latest action has seen them 'loft' Mbappe from Luis Enrique 's squad.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/psg-kylian-mbappe-transfer-legal-30530560

I don't agree if the legal action for PSG will solve the problem faced by him and PSG. I don't even like that if there was an intervention from another party.

[Leviathan.007]

I don't know if the rumors about the salary increase offered by PSG to Mbappe are true or not, but one thing I'm pretty sure is that basically PSG won't hesitate to keep Mbappe in any way. But even so, will Mbappe really stay at PSG forever or not. Because after all, Mbappe himself is still young and has earned such a fantastic fee. So, if in the future Mbappe leaves, then PSG will suffer a very big loss, of course. Because Mbappe plays for PSG no longer based on loyalty, but based on money. As such, it may turn out to be a blunder later due to the way it is too crazy and maybe not healthy for their chemistry also on the pitch and in the locker room.

Mbappe got kicked from training with PSG in Japan while he seems number 9 given to another player in Real Madrid. Quite awkward situation since it appears that he will remain in the benches for the upcoming season unless he accept a new deal by PSG or move right now to Real Madrid..

Everything gets weird about Mbappe and I don't the affect this drama in the next season because the best Bmappe can do is to leave PSG and the PSG owners know this player won't be useful for them anymore I think if he leaves this team Real Madrid can give him the short just after he joined there.

[KTChampions]

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.

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.

Yes, I was referring to last year's battle when Real and PSG fought to sign Mbappe. By the way, I'm not at all sure that Mbappe benefited from that contract - he received only money, but burned his golden years in a Parisian swamp. As we see now, it is very easy for a player with a big name to earn money - you just need to go to Saudi Arabia, but it is impossible to return the lost years.

The young French star is currently earning a hefty salary from PSG but still his main aim in leaving the club is to win a major tournament trophy. Apart from winning trophies in major tournaments, his dream is to win the Ballon d'Or but this dream is not coming true from PSG club because he has been in this club for a long time and this club is not performing well in the Champions League due to which the French star is not able to light up his career. If Mbappe doesn't focus on his beautiful career many clubs will make big offers but he is only thinking about his career which is why he is planning to leave PSG and possibly join Real Madrid. He may have realized that to take his career to another level, he needs to sign with Real Madrid, which is why he plans to join Real Madrid despite the huge salary and benefits.

[shogun47]

This is insanity if it is true and it is once again even more unreal than anything else has ever been unreal before... Mbappe has been offered 700 million for one season by Al-Hilal and the club from Saudi Arabia would be willing to pay 300 million to PSG and then after one year they would allow Mbappe to leave as a free agent... Is this still the soccer world or what is this?

But this is exactly what I was wondering about, what can Mbappe even do when a club is willing to pay that much money for a year? Some will say that he is rich enough already and that he should rather build a perfect career, but can he really turn down a 700 million deal while being an officially accepted free agent after that year and then he can still go to Real Madrid? No matter what sport you compare this to, but 700 million is out of this world and the best professionals in the most lucrative sports would need an entire career to earn as much from their salary.

I was read this news too that PSG has been confirmed that they were receive the offers from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal for Mbappe for 300 millions today and this is very fantastic bid which is never happend before and it's very interesting to know how Mbappe and PSG will respond to this offer whether he will accept that offer and Mbappe will playing at Al Hilal instead of Real Madrid or Mbappe will refuse it because he still want to playing at european club but Mbappe is very talented player and playing at Saudi Pro League will be a career downgrade for him so most likely he will reject that offer but for PSG this is good opportunity to sell Mbappe with expensive price because possibly this offer will come only once and rather than let him with free transfer next season maybe it's better to sell him immediately

I saw that romano has been also giving an update if PSG will agree with such offer from al hilal. It's very crazy to see that mbappe being priced that high. Even ronaldo and messi never priced that high as they have won so many titles.

https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1683459915900239874

Romano was creating such tweet. Im sure this gonna be destroying the price of football player once again. Remember the day when PSG has been shocking the world of football by signing mbappe and neymar with non sense price.
It's likely the same thing gonna happen again. Al hilal was so crazy to give a very big offer like that.
That depends on mbappe whether he will reach personal agreement or not. So far, no talk happened between mbappe and al hilal. Im guessing that if delegation from al hilal will try to approach him as soon as possible as PSG already agreed with such amounts of moeny.

[flipme]

Everything gets weird about Mbappe and I don't the affect this drama in the next season because the best Bmappe can do is to leave PSG and the PSG owners know this player won't be useful for them anymore I think if he leaves this team Real Madrid can give him the short just after he joined there.

The crisis between Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain is getting complicated. Mbappe was not included in the pre-season Asian camp. Now the clubs who want to transfer him have a very important trump card in their hands. The clubs that want to transfer him may have the chance to use this trump card to transfer him for a cheaper price. I think Mbappe has done great damage to Paris Saint-Germain with this behavior. If the crisis between Paris Saint-Germain and Mbappe continues to grow, we may even witness a lawsuit process that will last for many years, involving FIFA.

Mbappe may have agreed to join Real Madrid when he leaves PSG. That's also the main reason why PSG wanna sell mbappe asap. The offer that came from al hilal makes me feel so happy caused by mbappe may be going to the saudi pro league. Al hilal is rumored sent 300 millions bid for mbappe which is a very very big amount of money for a player like mbappe. Al hilal was failed in getting messi and then the club is now changing its target to get mbappe from PSG. The thing that i didn't even understand al hilal wants pay 300 millions for only 1 season with mbappe.
That's craziest thing that i have ever seen in the football. You can build a team with such amounts of money. PSG will exchange him for 300 millions, which is 120 millions more compared when PSG bought him for about 180 millions a few years ago.

Yes, in the last time I remember Real Madrid was waiting for Mbappe to sign his contract with them but instead of it, Mbappe extended his contract with PSG because they increased their offer and they paid him more salary.
Again in this season, Real Madrid is waiting for Mbappe which is wrong.

The fault is just wasting time for Real Madrid, because basically Real Madrid can still target other players they need. But Real Madrid feel that Mbappe is more suitable for them so that Real Madrid are willing to wait, even though there are many other strikers in the transfer market, although their achievements are still not as good as Mbappe. So let's see what steps Real Madrid will take next while waiting for clarity on Mbappe.

[Raflesia]

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.

Certainly there will be more common ground in this matter at least they will continue to try to make some agreements even though it doesn't make sense though. But on the other hand, if indeed Mbappe is still determined to leave, then the possibility of negotiations like this will not provide much and the greater the certainty of leaving.
Not having him on the tour actually has positives and negatives I guess.
The positive side is that Enrique can make several schemes when Mbappe is not in the squad and this must really be maximized so that when Mbappe finally leaves they don't have to worry too much about plans and schemes. but on the negative side, of course, this creates conditions where Mbappe's absence makes the possibility of him leaving even greater, especially with his ego, which is still high, so it is possible that this will trigger several impacts.

Actually when talking about the scenario then indeed the first option of contract extension the second option sells at a high price but when reserving him as an extreme option won't this trigger a bigger drama which in the end he will still leave. An example of this is Cristiano at Manchester United and it is precisely when he makes this decision and leaves him on the bench that it will only make Mbappe more embarrassed and create new drama.

If the crisis between Paris Saint-Germain and Mbappe continues to grow, we may even witness a lawsuit process that will last for many years, involving FIFA.

There is something that confuses me a little, if Al Hilal really makes a formal offer to Paris Saint-Germain to open talks for Mbappe. then, PSG accepted the offer of the proposal. whether Mbappe has to follow the club's wishes, without having to go through his approval. because as far as I know, the player has the right to refuse offers that come to him even though his club is willing to sell him. it seems, the drama of the Mbappe transfer saga is getting very complicated. I think even though the rumored offer involves a fantastic transfer. also, the highest salary offer he can get. the final decision rests with Mbappe. whether he is willing, or he will refuse.

IMO, it seems that Nasser Al Khaelaifi is serious about putting pressure on the player if he persists in not signing his new contract. I'm pretty sure this is just the beginning of the Mbappe transfer saga. firstly, Mbeppe did not participate with his colleagues in the Asian tour. now, the latest rumors of a transfer offer of € 300 million as reported by Romano. So, I want to know the response that Real Madrid will make. because, rumor has it that PSG believes that Mbappe has agreed terms with Real Madrid with a ready contract. well, let's just follow the drama of the Mbappe transfer saga until the end of this transfer window. By the way, I don't understand how this case will turn into a lawsuit like you said.

[beerlover]

Real Madrid would definitely be a better choice for Mbappe than PSG. Mbappe was in PSG for a long time. Although he won the Ligue 1 title, he could not win the Champions League. Moreover, Mbappe did not win the Ballon d'Or. Joining Real Madrid would boost Mbappe's chances of winning the Champions League and Ballon d'Or.

If Mbappe does not renew his contract with PSG then PSG will not keep Mbappe in the team. The important thing is that Luis Enrique will not be interested in making Mbappe part of his match plan for just one season. This is why Mbappe will have to leave the club this season if his contract is not renewed. PSG may sell Mbappe to a Premier League team if Real Madrid is not interested in spending more money for Mbappe.

Mbappe not being part of the team is the best weapon that they have right now and they need to use that very well. I mean think about it, if he doesn't play then he is not going to worth that much neither and I believe that we are talking about a situation where dark things could happen. He is making this a problem of his own.

There are rumors about Real Madrid executives and staff members saying that Mbappe has to learn to be a football player again before he goes there. Which means that they are aware that he is just doing this for money and yes it is a business but why would anyone pay him that kind of money if he is only doing it for the money and not show any talent and cause drama in the locker room as well?

[shogun47]

This is insanity if it is true and it is once again even more unreal than anything else has ever been unreal before... Mbappe has been offered 700 million for one season by Al-Hilal and the club from Saudi Arabia would be willing to pay 300 million to PSG and then after one year they would allow Mbappe to leave as a free agent... Is this still the soccer world or what is this?

But this is exactly what I was wondering about, what can Mbappe even do when a club is willing to pay that much money for a year? Some will say that he is rich enough already and that he should rather build a perfect career, but can he really turn down a 700 million deal while being an officially accepted free agent after that year and then he can still go to Real Madrid? No matter what sport you compare this to, but 700 million is out of this world and the best professionals in the most lucrative sports would need an entire career to earn as much from their salary.

I was read this news too that PSG has been confirmed that they were receive the offers from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal for Mbappe for 300 millions today and this is very fantastic bid which is never happend before and it's very interesting to know how Mbappe and PSG will respond to this offer whether he will accept that offer and Mbappe will playing at Al Hilal instead of Real Madrid or Mbappe will refuse it because he still want to playing at european club but Mbappe is very talented player and playing at Saudi Pro League will be a career downgrade for him so most likely he will reject that offer but for PSG this is good opportunity to sell Mbappe with expensive price because possibly this offer will come only once and rather than let him with free transfer next season maybe it's better to sell him immediately

I would not be surprised if Mbappe hesitates even now because he could make even more money than what is offered to him from Saudi Arabia. Now PSG is probably hoping for him to say yes and to take the 300 million and also save the 90 million bonus for next year, but what if Mbappe hesitates and even says no in the beginning? PSG must be ranting then as there is nothing they can do about it. But then again he doesn't really have an intention to decline such an offer from Al-Hilal when the consequence would be that he has to stay at PSG.

[temple]

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.

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.

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.

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.

His statistics are not really up for debate although I think that his statistics aren't overwhelmingly good  given that he played in Ligue 1 and not in the Premier League. Someone like him could score more than 40 goals per season if he lived up to his full potential, but sometimes he looked like he wasn't very motivated to give those extra 1% in every game and I think that is one of the differences between him and Messi and Ronaldo. He could still reach their heights, but he needs someone who understands how to push him. I believe that he thinks he is the best (which he probably is) and that he is already too satisfied with what he has achieved. Maybe he became a World Cup winner too early in his career.
