French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

This is a very important thing for PSG to do after that they sold Mbappe to Real Madrid, they haven't gotten a good player replacement for Mbappe who will , Therefore , come January 2025 transfer window is indeed a good time for them to enter market.
Ramos is a defender and doesn't have much to offer even looking at his age and playing position.

And for Osimhen,  I think he will be pleased with an offer from the premier league side than considering moving to the French Ligue 1

Osimhen, in my opinion, can also play in the French League. Because he is currently playing in the Turkish Super League. The French League is of higher quality in the Turkish Super League. If he went to Turkey, he can also go to France. Of course, the Premier League will probably be a better option, but it is definitely right to say that he will not go. If Paris Saint-Germain's ideals and what they offer him can convince Osimhen, I think he can play in France.

The only Ligue 1 club capable of recruiting Osimhen is PSG. Meanwhile, I think Galatasaray will not be able to pay Osimhen release clause from Napoli, because as we already know the price set by Napoli management is very high. There is nothing wrong if Osimhen continues his career in Ligue 1, although the Premier League could be a better choice. In terms of competitive level, Ligue 1 clearly has a higher coefficient value than the Turkish Super Lig.

I think PSG is capable of giving what Osimhen wants, both in terms of salary and also trophy guarantees, as well as playing in the Champions League every season. But the competition to get Osimhen will clearly not be easy, many top European clubs are also interested in Osimhen. On the other hand, it is likely that Osimhen will not return to Napoli and play under Conte next season, considering his relationship with management is no longer harmonious.

There are two teams that can claim the championship against PSG. Monaco and Marseille. However, we see that these two teams play inconsistently. In some matches, they win by playing very well, and in some matches, they experience great surprises and lose to undemanding teams. When this happens, the winning rate in matches decreases. PSG, on the other hand, is still trying to play professionally in every match. They have no opponents for the French league, what is important for them is the Champions League. They are currently outside the top 24 in the Champions League. However, if they win the next two matches, they will be in the top 24 and will be eligible to play in the playoffs.

It is still quite difficult indeed and maybe if you look at the strength of both teams it will map their chances of winning Ligue 1 and now I don't see either of them having a chance to stop PSG's steps to win the Ligue 1 trophy again. For PSG this looks quite easy and maybe they have never faced such great pressure when facing other opponents in the Champions League and that is why their dominance in Ligue 1 is almost unbreakable and their strength is truly extraordinary.

But it feels strange when this is associated with the Champions League because their appearance does not show a strong team at all and they even have difficulty when facing weak teams, especially when facing strong teams that make them suffer defeat. Now the chances are small and it is almost certain that PSG will not qualify because there are only two matches left.

Basically PSG is a rich team that can bring in the desired players but it seems, Luis Enrique will still maximize the young talents in the PSG squad. Thus, maybe PSG will still not make big purchases in the January transfer window, because Enrique himself has made a statement that their team is good and there is no need to buy many players. But yes,atleast that might just be Enrique's plan, I also don't know if for example maybe the PSG owner wants to have new players, then maybe they will still bring in new players in the transfer window. But yes, the point is that PSG do need some new players of course to make the rotation of players run well to have good results also in the Champions League, and not  only for the domestic league.

I think if there were no Financial Fair Play regulations, maybe a club like PSG would get a lot of benefits because of unlimited money. But on the other hand, of course, the club management also doesn't want to be called wasteful by buying players who will be failed players. I think Osimhen at a price of 100 million or even 200 million euros is an unreasonable purchase. Osimhen is one of the best strikers in the world right now but I think he is still not enough to get a price above 100 million euros. I think 75 million euros is a fair price for Osimhen. So far PSG has been dominant in Ligue 1. Even though they performed poorly in the UCL and are threatened with failing to qualify for the next round, I think they still have a chance in the remaining two matches even though they are two very difficult matches against City and Stuttgart.

There is nothing wrong if Osimhen continues his career in Ligue 1, although the Premier League could be a better choice. In terms of competitive level, Ligue 1 clearly has a higher coefficient value than the Turkish Super Lig.

They have lot of money, are one of the richest teams and if they wanted to bring in Osimhen, they would have done it some time ago and the fact is that Napoli did not get any agreement with PSG so there is also chance that in the future PSG might not be interested in all the prices Napoli are asking.
It should also be noted that it is true that Galatasaray is unlikely to be able to pay the release clause to make Osimhen permanent player but Galatasaray offered some money with additional players as an exchange option and if Napoli agrees then Osimhen will not leave Galatasaray.

[tusandii]

In his place, they would go for a striker who has proven their scoring skills already. Such as Osimhen, Gyökeres or someone else like them. But I believe they will do this at the end of the day.

Last season PSG was also rumored with Victor Oshimen but in fact PSG did not recruit this striker to replace the position left by Mbappe but they instead stuck with the players they had and did not recruit Oshimen because the price tag set by Napoli was too expensive but isn't PSG quite capable of buying Oshimen considering this player is an active striker I hope PSG will really make the reality of recruiting a striker in the transfer market later.

PSG does have strong finances but it's not just that they have to spend a lot of money like Napoli wants, especially Victor Oshimen is in a position that the team doesn't want at the end of last season.
PSG coach Luis Enrique is not the type who likes to recruit many players, especially expensive players. Luis Enrique tends to take advantage of existing players and make effective purchases. I think Luis Enrique will build the PSG team framework slowly, unlike before when PSG spent a lot of money but did not meet the team's targets.
For now, PSG's front line is not significantly affected by the loss of Mbappe, although the PSG team is still struggling to compete in the Champions League, but this is because overall this team does not have sufficient team strength and I think it's not just the front line that needs to be fixed but all lines.

But I think next season will be different I'm sure Luis Enrique will reconsider recruiting players because PSG is not only focused on League 1 but also on the Champions League PSG needs more strength, last season when Mbappe was still there PSG could perform well in the Champions League but this season without players who have a mentality like Mbappe PSG seems to have lost confidence in the Champions League but I think it's not just them who are having difficulties some top clubs also feel the same therefore PSG must make improvements to face the UCL next season to be better than this.

[HajiBagi]

PSG will probably go for a new striker signing in January or next summer at worst.    I feel confident about that because Ramos and Kolo Muani couldn't make the expected impact yet. At least one of them will probably leave. It hasn't been much time since Ramos came back from an injury though. Maybe he could be the one staying. But Kolo Muani? He isn't given enough amount of chances recently. I feel like he will be the one leaving.

In his place, they would go for a striker who has proven their scoring skills already. Such as Osimhen, Gyökeres or someone else like them. But I believe they will do this at the end of the day.

PSG would be at another level if they had Osimhen or Victor Gyokeres because they have already has player in every position, Osimhen would have been in PSG now scoring goals and helping the team the way he is doing for Galatasaray now but PSG didn't take the signing of the player seriously, PSG currently don't have striker because Kolo Muani and Ramos are not in good shape that is why the club decide to let them go on January transfer market so that any team can come and sign them.

PSG is still leading in the table of the League but they are still not satisfied with their performance and if we look at their games this season they don't have a striker that will put pressure on the opponent's defenders, signing Osimhen or Gyokeres Also going to cost the team about 100m, even if the price is going to be low it will be less than 70m.

It should also be noted that it is true that Galatasaray is unlikely to be able to pay the release clause to make Osimhen permanent player but Galatasaray offered some money with additional players as an exchange option and if Napoli agrees then Osimhen will not leave Galatasaray.

Looking at the finances owned by Paris Saint Germain, bringing in Osimhen is quite easy, because it will not mess up their finances. Meanwhile, other teams, they can actually do it too, but it is something that is forcing themselves and it will make them feel financially messed up.
But the question is how interested are they in Osimhen? because some time ago there were also rumors that they were interested in Osimhen, but the news then sank again without any definite clarity. So I conclude that they are indeed interested, but they do not dare to spend a lot of money.

PSG last season had made an offer to sign Osimhen and even Osimhen was willing to resume his Ligue 1 career with PSG, but the big money they offered still did not meet the demands of Napoli who also wanted one of the PSG players as a condition of Osimhen transfers, with the current decline in prices and  release clause,  I think it is very likely that they will make another bid to sign Osimhen in January, although at the moment it is likely that Chelsea, Arsenal, Galatasaray and Manchester United will be in the race for get Osimhen, apart from must pay a large sum of money to Napoli, PSG or any team that wants to sign Osimhen must to pay compensation 6 million euro  for galatasaray as loan period cut .

75 million sounds more reasonable for Osimhen market value, but Aurelio De Laurentiis may stick to his guns. Talking about PSG finances, they are capable of disrupting the market by offering a fantastic price for Osimhen, which is why the Financial Fair Play regulation is needed to create balance. Looking at PSG journey in the Champions League this season, Luis Enrique clearly needs a typical striker like Osimhen, because PSG looks very difficult to compete with other contestants.
Manchester United are also reportedly interested in Osimhen, but Napoli want to involve Rashford in the deal, PSG may have to move quickly if they want to revive their plans.

We all will not know what the future of teams other than PSG in this league 1 will be. As long as some teams are able to bring in professional players, surely competing with PSG will be an easy problem. I am sure that even though PSG dominates league 1, it does not mean that they will not experience bad times and one day PSG will definitely have problems that will have an impact on declining performance. And that's when other teams like Marseille will take over the top of the standings. Currently, there is no other way to continue to maintain consistency in the runner up position every season. And when PSG starts to make mistakes, Monaco or Marseille will find it easier to take the opportunity.

While you're praying that PSG will have a bad form or game don't forget that the other clubs might have the same fate waiting for them as they can lose too. PSG will not win all their games as they're going to have some few bad games but still they're always the favourite to win the league and this season they have showed that again by topping the table and I think the reason is as they're the better funded club among all the clubs playing in the french league. PSG is topping the table with 10 points and it'll be very difficult for them to lose 3 games straight while other title contenders won't lose any game and for then Marseille to take over the 1st position.

PSG has always been a strong team in the France league and they won most of the matches even if they did not win all the matches of the season, which is why they have been champions of the France league for several seasons in a row. PSG are unbeaten so far this season as they have played 16 matches where they have won 12 matches and drawn four matches. They have more than half of their matches ahead, if PSG does not drop a point in any of the matches, then at the end of the season we can say that PSG have secured the league title by going undefeated this season. But it is not saying anything for sure if they can stay unbeaten but I will say for sure this season too that PSG will definitely secure the local league title this season.

In my opinion, Paris Saint-Germain will definitely be champions this year, but I am not sure if they will lose. If they complete the season without defeat, they will achieve the success that Lever cousin did in Germany last year. This will actually be evidence that Paris Saint-Germain did not affect much after Mbappé left the team. Because both Monaco and Marseille are in a stronger position compared to last year. Despite all this, it is better to complete a season without defeat.

[Fuso.hp]

No other club has ever spent as much money as PSG to improve their team's performance. PSG spent money on players but they didn't actually make a profit by selling any players against spending that money. PSG's plans were certainly flawed, if they had hired a quality manager first and spent money as planned to bring quality players into the team, their team performance would have improved. Now there is an experienced manager in the team who has been able to manage Barcelona well for a long time but this manager does not seem to be very active when it comes to buying players. If we can clearly understand the weaknesses in different positions of the team then this manager has understood the weaknesses better but my question is why he is not offering money to any quality player. Let's see how his activities are when the transfer window opens.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi took an instant path to build PSG as a force to be reckoned with in Europe, especially in Ligue 1. So it is not surprising that since 2011, PSG has spent a lot of budget to recruit a number of star players. In Ligue 1, PSG managed to achieve great success by relying on this financial strength, but until this season, they have not been able to achieve success in the Champions League.
After losing Mbappe, PSG seems to have started to change their approach in the transfer market, where Luis Enrique seems not so aggressive in recruiting other star players. I think PSG still needs star players, to make the team reckoned with in the Champions League. In addition, PSG management should start to focus on promoting young academy players every season, this can provide sustainable success and save expenses.

It was no fault of the PSG owner but we will always appreciate his efforts but the point is that he spent so much money in the wrong place. There was no need for Mbappe to bring Neymar and Messi to the same club, but with the money of these three players, he could have well assembled a complete team. Despite having so much experienced staff in the team, why didn't the staff suggest to PSG that they should buy midfielders instead of buying so many strikers. Maybe it's wise to forget what happened but let's hope PSG don't make the same mistake again. However, such a mistake will not be made by PSG as Luis Enrique is currently in charge of PSG, who will not bring any player into the team without a plan. But this manager should make PSG a strong team with financial support.

[hahay]

PSG and Gyokeres doesn't make that much sense if you ask me, Osimhen feels like a better fit. Why? Because Osimhen is way too athletic, he is a pure striker, all he does is get the ball and I do not care where you throw it, it could be some far distance and he will outrun and get it, it could be high up and he will jump higher than everyone else and get it, it could be anything, you just throw the ball and he will get it, but he is not a clinical finisher, he isn't one touch and score type of guy, his aim is still scoring, but it's more about the effort.

PSG  needs that because they do not have a world class level midfield unfortunately, definitely a problem that they have, so they need to have a player like Osimhen. Gyokeres is a strong one, so if you put the ball at the opposition field, like with some players, then Gyokeres could just bully a few and can score, different style, and clinical finishing too.

I don't know whether Osimhen or Gyokeres who is actually brought in will still be good for PSG's attack because yes, I think both players have a very good future if they play in a big team like PSG. Maybe, what will be considered is about the price, because it seems that before the start of this season also at that time PSG was interested in bringing Osimhen. But yes, because Napoli priced him at a high price, PSG discouraged his intention to bring Osimhen, until Osimhen went to Galatasaray only on loan. Perhaps, with the difference in prices on these two potential young players, it will be a consideration for PSG to bring them in the transfer window later.

PSG will probably go for a new striker signing in January or next summer at worst.    I feel confident about that because Ramos and Kolo Muani couldn't make the expected impact yet. At least one of them will probably leave. It hasn't been much time since Ramos came back from an injury though. Maybe he could be the one staying. But Kolo Muani? He isn't given enough amount of chances recently. I feel like he will be the one leaving..

I don't really know if the coach considers the idea of bringing in a new striker as a priority since they are winning matches in the french Ligue1, but if you also consider the individual performance of both Kolomuani and Ramos who are both strikers for the team. I think they haven't performed as expected thereby giving room for a possible purchase of a durable or reliable striker who can deliver consistently for the team, but like I earlier said, it all depends on the coach to decide if he would require the services of another striker or would rather stick to the ones he already has.

[Velvet78]

PSG has like unlimited money to bring the best players but they still have 0 Champions League trophy. Only Ligue 1 titles as their biggest achievement. 

- They have brought great managers for years as well but it didn't work either.
- They built a team with stars like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar however the result was still the same.

Then what? What do they need to do more? Maybe there is some managerial problem with the chairman or I don't know... Money doesn't guarantee success but I would still expect them to win a Champions League title at least for once.

Osimhen and Gyokeres will be the hottest properties in the transfer window, I don't think PSG are the only ones interested in the two attackers. If a Premier League club makes an offer, PSG will have a hard time competing, even though PSG is able to offer a higher salary. Referring to transfermarkt data, Osimhen market value is currently decreasing, while Gyokeres price continues to skyrocket. If we look at it in terms of quality, PSG is indeed better off recruiting Osimhen, because he has more experience playing in more competitive competitions. It is true, as we all know, Napoli has set a price that is too high, making it very difficult to reach an agreement. As for Gyokeres, Sporting CP will most likely release their player if they get an attractive offer.

Though it is true that Victor Osimhen is currently attracting interest from many big clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United, the asking price for Osimhen by Napoli is so high that the two clubs finally back off from the negotiation. One of their biggest assets is not something that Napoli seems to want to let go of.

And from the economic point of view, PSG have more than what it takes because they can offer very high wages and match the cost that Napoli ask for. But if what is most important for Osimhen is to have a real opportunity to progress his career within a more competitive and prestigious league, then he should say 'yes' to the Premier League. Because the competition in the English championship is very tough, which will be able to push young talents such as Osimhen.

Gyokeres could accept transfer conditions on a more flexible basis. But it still should be a good proposition.
Please carry out acceptance of the transfer conditions proposed for Gyokeres on a more flexible basis. However, the proposition must still be attractive.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Unfortunately they have never been that great at UCL, it hasn't been something that common and we can't really see them doing anything this season neither. They got pretty close last season, at semi finals they were playing against Dortmund and they had plenty of shots either saved by the goalkeeper or hit the woodwork, they got very unlucky, otherwise they could have been at the finals, not that I think they could have beaten Real Madrid to be fair, but at least could have been one step closer and a few lucky stuff could have made them win.

This season they do not look even that close, I do not think they will reach semi finals, they are having trouble at group stages and there is a very real possibility that they may miss out and be outside of top 24, which is hugely disappointing considering how much they are spending each year. I can't really point out how much problems that could cause as well, they need to do a lot better for their future.

You said it, I know it's not serious to say that it's due to lack of luck, because luck is a factor that many don't consider but it does have a lot of effects, so PSG in the UCL not even with the strongest offensive trident for a moment could not win the UCL, and that was despite the fact that there was a lot of support, I remember those big bets for PSG to win the UCL titles that many contested with good players and were not even close to winning, the truth is disappointing, but that's football, if they don't achieve anything this time it will be a hard blow for this team, they are not very good and their recovery is very strong.

Eventually Napoli will let him go and it is hard to believe that they would take him back after everything that happened. The conditions based on which they let him go to Galatasaray were only put in place to make sure that Napoli the ones making the money when Osimhen is sold. I think €10 million go into Galatasaray's pockets and everything above that goes to Napoli. It is not rational to assume that they let him crash so hard as a player and then he just goes back and that's it. And Napoli would likely not want him back because they know the happiness about his return could be gone within weeks when the first problems arise and then they own a player that they could have sold for good money but didn't. I assume that they will adjust the transfer fee downwards if necessary as they would also have to pay his salary while he could be sitting on the bench.

PSG could be the right club for him, but he has to deliver as you can see with Kolo Muani. PSG has no mercy no matter how expensive a players was. If he doesn't perform, he doesn't play and they don't care if he gets paid anyway.

We are not going to say that PSG was unlucky because they didn't reach the finals and lost it. From my own understanding, I feel that we are the ones giving PSG too much hype because they don't have a rival in their domestic league. We think that they are very strong, but they come to UCL and mess things up for themselves. PSG need more improvement in order for them to have the chance to win UCL.

We think that they are very strong, but they come to UCL and mess things up for themselves. PSG need more improvement in order for them to have the chance to win UCL.

A simple but very true understanding. That is why PSG always has difficulty competing with big teams from other leagues when they are in the UCL. Because PSG when they are in league 1 do not have strong opponents that make PSG accustomed to fighting tougher teams. Although every season they can always be present in the UCL, the experience that PSG gets is very lacking to get a title in the prestigious competition. Unless PSG is really lucky when they get a coach who can really bring PSG to win the title in the UCL and slightly ignore the title in league 1.
