French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Leviathan.007]

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?

I think as the PSG owner said they won't be the lower in this game because if Mbappe extends his contract this can be a great win the PSG and the owner of this team to sell him even for a higher price and if they sell Mbappe still there are many teams they want to spend too much money for this palyer and this can make PSG have enough money to hire other players and replace Mbappe.

I don't really think that PSG will still want to keep Mbape,atleast not after opening up on the fact that he doesn't want to stay at the club again.He has already set his mind on living,and I don't think PSG will hold him back.MBape is a good player,who is aiming higher,and he has known that now that Messi is no longer at PSG,there is every tendency that PSG cannot win the champions league again,and he really wants to make that win to really kick off his career.He is a player that every body tip to be a perfect replacement to Christiano Ronaldo because they almost  have thesame pattern of football. Mbape is a strouggler,while Christiano is also a strouggler,they both struggle to get goals for their teams ,while the likes of Messi is a born goal scorer,whether he plays at the midfield or attack,he will still score regardless of where he plays.

If the reports about Mbappe and Al-Hilal's bid are correct, PSG has already accepted the 300 million and warranted Mbappe the right to have negotiations with Al-Hilal. For PSG it looks as if it is about the money and that they want to get rid of him at the right price. The discussions about him and also the attacks against each other between PSG and Mbappe are not very promising should they end up spending another season together. Mbappe will let the clock run down now and force all interested parties to raise their offer as long as they can.

I'm not surprised that mbappe wants to leave for Saudi... Nobody would reject such an exceptional offer if I may say...
Secondly, PSG has already promised $1 billion for a 10 year contract, with which that alone would determine mbappe's career... I believe that's exactly the same reasons he's pressing to leave PSG and play for a resounding club like Madrid... Cus 10 years from now would only make him 34, exactly the age most players sign out on retirements.. so I just hope Saudi doesn't entice him more after the end of the season - maybe with some more $1.2 billion offer? ...I mean those guys are insanely rich and they can do anything they want...

the PSG president once said that mbappe would never go to madrid, so PSG management did everything possible to make mbappe not go to madrid and also get a big profit from selling mbappe, so when there was an offer from al hilal with an extraordinary transfer value, PSG management urged mbappe to agree to it.
however mbappe was reluctant to go there because he knew that if he now went to al hilal then his football career would be dimmed. madrid is mbappe's dream club since long ago, I'm sure the pressure and intimidation that PSG management will put on him will not work because he only wants to go to madrid.

The most interesting thing is that Mbappe's transfer to the Saudi club does not completely cancel the subsequent transfer of the player to Real Madrid, if Real Madrid is not going to pay money for the transfer now and get the player a free agent for next season, and the Saudi club is just not averse to releasing the player to all four sides after the end of the season. Therefore, I absolutely do not understand why one season on the bench of Paris Saint-Germain will not have a negative impact on the player's career, but a season in the same championship with such stars as Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema will definitely have a negative impact. At least, I don't see any European club, including PSG itself, that agrees and can pay money of the same order as the Saudis. At least, Usain Bolt has already joked that for such money he would resume his career, or maybe he really just subtly hinted about his beloved

I think a decision will be made in the near future because psg seems to have received an offer from Al hilal and this progress is from mbappe whether he agrees to move to Al hilal. But seeing the fantastic salary offer given by Al Hilal there is a high probability that Mbappe will accept it because the duration of the contract is only 1 season before he decides to leave and join Real Madrid next season.

I think PSG really want a lot of money in Mbappe transfer and Al Hilal is one of the teams that offers quite a fantastic price because PSG can reap a lot of profit from selling Mbappe. I see Real Madrid not going to make any bids in this transfer window because they don't want to waste a lot of money on mbappe because Real Madrid can get him for free next season.

[BlackBoss_]

PSG are stupid to include the term for loyalty fee but they set an unreasonable date to activate it.

PSG must sell Kylian Mbappe by August 1 or they owe him €60m as alarming contract clause revealed after €300m Al-Hilal bid.

So now we understand why PSG gave Mbappe an ultimatum till 31 July only but Mbappe is smart enough to know he won't lose anything if staying in PSG till 1 August. After that day, he will automatically get €60m from PSG and still be able to leave the club to Al Ahli.

I can not sympathize with PSG on the term, they can include the loyalty term in their contract with Mbappe but why not activate it on 30 or 31 August or 1 September? The loyalty term should be in place to make sure that the player can not move anywhere after that day and he will have to play for PSG after a closing day of summer transfer window.

[Velvet78]

I don't think Mbappe should stay at PSG just because he is going to get a loyalty bonus. Because there is an enormous offer on the table by Al Hilal now. They are ready to pay an amount between 700-800 million euros to Mbappe for only one season. There is no reason for Mbappe not to accept that deal now in my opinion.

Of course he would like to play at Real Madrid but this won't happen until next season as it seems. He can take advantage of the season between like this rather than staying for getting that loyalty bonus which is worth way lower than the amount of money he can make at Al Hilal.

Mbappé won't extend his contract with PSC even though he stayed at psg because his contract with PSG expired but now that he has received a big offer from the Saudi League, he might move to Saudi Arabia for a year for sure. The offer made to Mbappe benefits both Mbappe and the club and guarantees Mbappe will join Real Madrid as a free agent next season Al Hilal so I think it's a great opportunity for Mbappe to earn money if he plays in the Saudi league for a year I don't think there will be any negative impact on performance. It would be the biggest transfer in football history if Mbappe joins Al Hilal. Mbappe's transfer is at the heart of the transfer market.

In fact, there is no difference between August 1st and September 1st - Mbappe, according to the contract, must work for another year and he cannot leave "of his own free will." Therefore, if suddenly PSG sell Mbappe after August 1st, then they may demand a return of the loyalty bonus. And it will be difficult for Mbappe to refuse them because he himself is interested in leaving PSG.

You wouldn't be certain about this term as what I read from different channels varies, so I will not conclude on a certain term for now even if yours might be the actual one and it's from goal[dot]com. What I could conclude upon is the agreement of Al-hilal's €300m bid for Mbappe, but still depends on whether he will agree or not. Presently, PSG is still persuading him to take the offer, but I believe that Mbappe is not ready to leave Europe yet as he is still very young. SPL is better for holding players that had already made a name for themselves, not a young player like Mbappe that has though made a name but needs more and is still very young.

No wonder PSG has rekindled their interest in Victor Osimhen as they are ready to splash huge cash on him, the club and the owner Aurelio De Laurentiis just for the guy.

[bering]

Marseille has been confirmed that they gets Ismaila Sarr from Watford and they have to spend 13 millions as transfer fee and as a winger Ismaila Sarr was quite productive that during defend Watford he was scores 34 goals total and now Marseille has Ismaila Sarr and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Chelsea for forward lines and seems they were already to anticipate to losing Alexis Sanchez because these players can be considered as the replacement of him

However so far Marseille has got 4 new players including Aubameyang, Ismaila Sarr, Renan Lodi and Geoffrey Kondogbia from Atletico Madrid as free transfer status but seems they won't stop to buying players because Marseille manager want at least 1 more player for striker position and Marseille currently still working on to restore their fitness condition and they will starting their pre season match against Bundesliga team Leverkusen on August 2

[rendravolt]

It's been a long time since we heard of OGC Nice signing a new player in the transfer market and this time they have managed to reach an agreement for Atalanta's Jeremie Boga. The cost is also fairly reasonable around 18 million euros for this 26 year old player and he plays as an attacking midfielder which makes OGC Nice's front line even sharper. Last season Jeremie Boga was actually not that good in terms of statistics in all competitions and he only contributed 2 goals and 5 assists. It looks like coach Didier Digard has his own way of raising Jeremie Boga's performance later and this purchase is expected to have a significant impact on the team.

@EarnOnVictor before we judge PSG let’s remember the panic situation that they were in when Real Madrid had come close to stealing Mbappe from them and in the end they had to give him a record deal to stay and if this is true then I believe that Mbappe’s team planned this move very well. Also if I had to pick a side to support I’ll support PSG because while Mbappe is free to chose his next destination he could have handled this situation in a much better way.

[lizarder]

I don't think Al-Hilal is doing that just to give their fans to watch quality football, but also to help PSG not to get a big loss. Because anyway, at this moment basically Mbappe is still willing to play at PSG but Mbappe also does not want to extend the contract. With such a situation, Al Hilal appeared who could pay big money in exchange for Mbappe to join Real Madrid in the transfer next summer. That means, Al Hilal seems to just want to help PSG, Mbappe and Real Madrid smooth out the move later.

It seems that this is more a business that PSG and Al-Hilal are trying to do because the two club owners have a close relationship. PSG must take action so that they are not disadvantaged by Mbappe's move next season because of a free transfer, moreover the player has been offered a new contract with a slightly longer duration, but he does not want to extend the contract until now. Mbappe has participated in pre-season with PSG, but his name was not included when PSG headed to Asia to continue the next pre-season.

So rumors arose that Mbappe was no longer included in Luis Enrique's plans for next season and Mbappe was allowed not to play for the next season. If the plans expected by PSG did not go well and Mbappe continues to insist on his stance, thus this would affect the quality of Mbappe's game to continue to maintain his performance.

[bitLeap]

However so far Marseille has got 4 new players including Aubameyang, Ismaila Sarr, Renan Lodi and Geoffrey Kondogbia from Atletico Madrid as free transfer status but seems they won't stop to buying players because Marseille manager want at least 1 more player for striker position and Marseille currently still working on to restore their fitness condition and they will starting their pre season match against Bundesliga team Leverkusen on August 2

Before facing Leverkusen, they will have a friendly match with RKC Waalwijk. The Dutch club will not be a big problem for Marseille. But this match doesn't seem too interesting except for the limited test of tier 2 players like other clubs who are doing pre-season. Back to Marseille's forecast for next season, where the last 2 seasons have finished in 3rd and 2nd positions. The arrival of players like Aubameyang, Ismaila, and Geoffrey should be able to give more encouragement. Even though the top of the standings has always been dominated by PSG, it is possible that seeing PSG starting to reshuffle players can be used as a reference for Marseille in taking advantage of this unstable situation. Especially if Mbappe officially leaves, it will make it easier for Marseille to win the top of the standings.

If Mbappe leaves PSG, the attacking part of PSG team will be very weak. PSG's main objective is to do something extraordinary in the Champions League, so they are trying hard to keep Mbappe in the team.

It's too early to judge whether or not PSG's attack line is weak at the moment because in general PSG are still trying to get some players for the line they need. Besides, next season hasn't started yet, so it wouldn't be so accurate if I had to judge it now, even when Mbappe was around, PSG couldn't do much in the Champions League last season, except for only Ligue 1, where PSG was still the strongest to win. So let's see how PSG will fare next season.

[Zlantann]

amount of money he can make at Al Hilal.
If Mbappe leaves PSG, the attacking part of PSG team will be very weak. PSG's main objective is to do something extraordinary in the Champions League, so they are trying hard to keep Mbappe in the team.

No player is irreplaceable. Mbappe might be a very talented striker but there are still some strikers that can help PSG achieve its Champions League goals. Players like Victor Osimhen might not be skillful like Kylian but they can make an impact on the team. Victor is also young, pacy, and strong. Mbappe has been pampered in PSG for so long and now he has become a spoilt player.

Mbappé won't extend his contract with PSC even though he stayed at psg because his contract with PSG expired but now that he has received a big offer from the Saudi League, he might move to Saudi Arabia for a year for sure. The offer made to Mbappe benefits both Mbappe and the club and guarantees Mbappe will join Real Madrid as a free agent next season Al Hilal so I think it's a great opportunity for Mbappe to earn money if he plays in the Saudi league for a year I don't think there will be any negative impact on performance. It would be the biggest transfer in football history if Mbappe joins Al Hilal. Mbappe's transfer is at the heart of the transfer market.

Al Hilal will not be foolish to give Mbappe a one-year contract. It is a waste of funds because he will walk away without any financial benefit to the Saudi team. The club will also want to make money from his future move to another club. If Al Hilal feel that Mbappe will bring the rave, investors, and fans that they need in one year, then they can go ahead and splash such money on his transfer. But from what I am seeing, a one-year deal with Al Hilal will not be beneficial to the Saudi outlet.
