One by one the star players left PSG in the last few seasons, after Cavani, Messi and Neymar left, precisely this season PSG also lost the players they have relied on in the last 6 seasons, Mbappe has now officially become a Madrid player and of course Mbappe departure now leaves a big hole in the front line that must be immediately covered by PSG in order to remain a scary team next season,  Mbappe departure will certainly not have much effect on their dominance in Ligue 1, because there is indeed no other team that is stronger and dominating than PSG at the moment, but losing Mbappe will of course have a big impact on PSG competition in the Champions League next season.

The management continues to improve the team every season and even they continue to bring in a coach who is considered capable of handling PSG, but unfortunately until now they are still not able to get their first champions league trophy, currently PSG of course has very high hopes for Luis Enrique and of course Enrique also still needs a lot of time and support from management to realize their dreams.

Romano's tweet has been explaining it all.

Alvarez still has a long-term contract with Manchester City and there has been no plan to let alvarez to join in another club. However, Chelsea has been associated with him, but I am unable to provide an update on this considering there has no concrete talks between chelsea and manchester city regarding alvarez. I meant that if Chelsea wants to sign Alvarez from Manchester City but the citizen does not want to sell him caused by city has sold palmer which was performing so crazly in manchester city. It's absurd that the city will sell this talented player again for the second time to the its rival which has been successfully developing palmer.
Alvarez's main lack of regular playing time was due to Haaland, who was always the most professional pick by Pep Guardiola last season. This is why he has requested the club to give him more playing time in the main squad.

It appears that Pep will strive to give Haaland and Alvarez equal playing time in the upcoming season. No chance for PSG to get him. City will not sell their best talent. Alvarez stays for another season in city.

Yes, compared to when Man City got him last season, Alvarez's market value has really increased drastically. That's so, wow...
Look at how this graph explains Alvarez's market value which has skyrocketed very quickly and significantly.



If we look at his performance, it is true that there are not enough flying hours. So far, he is still mostly on the bench. The problem is that when he plays, he can make a good contribution to Man City. And maybe this is the reason why Alvarez's market value rose very quickly this season when he was at Man City.

So, is it worth it or not, Alvarez with a market value of that size, and PSG are still interested in having him, certainly because there is a special reason. And maybe it is worth it to have such talented young players. However, of course in the approach, there will be discussions about prices to be agreed upon until a deal is reached. However, so far there is still no clarity regarding this agreement.

Some big names sank after joining a Ligue 1 team, but there were also those who shone by successfully bringing change to their careers. Julian Alvarez is of course a target for PSG because PSG wants to bring in a quality striker to be able to close the gap left by Mbappe. For Julian Alvarez, of course he has to think wiser in making decisions about his future because currently he is in a big team and he can achieve many trophies in the future if he stays at Manchester City.

It is also reported that Manchester City does not want to let go of Julian Alvarez in the near future, but because he is not getting enough playing minutes, Julian Alvarez has asked to be sold in this transfer market. In this situation, of course Pep Guardiola doesn't want to lose quality players in the team, of course Pep will encourage Julian Alvarez to stay and provide more playing minutes next season. If Manchester City releases Julian Alvarez to Chelsea or PSG, they will definitely regret it in the future because Julian is a talented player and he is still very young.

the harsh reality is that PSG without Mbappe may have great difficulties in winning Ligue 1, see that so far PSG has not made any major signings since Mbappe left the team and that is not a good sign, I don't know if The management of the PSG team is waiting for the Euro games to end before making signings or not, but in my opinion they need to analyze the players very carefully because they will hardly find a very good player like Mbappe, if they only look at last season

PSG scored 81 goals and of these 81 goals, Mbappe scored 27 goals and made 7 assists

and see that mbappe played 29 games while league 1 had 34 games, this is because mbappe rested in some games, but he is a player who rarely gets injured and was also largely responsible for making psg win the league 1 many times, with this departure of mbappe, I fear that psg will have difficulties in winning league 1 and it will be difficult for them to find a replacement for mbappe anytime soon, maybe they will never find one, they can hire other good players to fill the vacancy left by mbappe , but you won't find a good player at mbappe's level who can contribute like mbappe did

Actually joining PSG is not as bad as we imagine, indeed Ligue 1 is not as attractive as the Premier League, but I don't think Alvarez career will fade when he joins PSG. Financially, PSG will have no difficulty paying for Alvarez release clause from City, and PSG is also very capable of paying him a high salary.

PSG is actually not alone in hunting for Alvarez signature, where Chelsea and ATM are also very interested in the player from Argentina. Alvarez needs a team that can provide regular playing time, because at City Alvarez is always the second choice after Halaand. It seems that Alvarez is more likely to join Chelsea than PSG or ATM.

If Alvarez chooses PSG, it is clear he will be the main choice without significant competition and Enrique needs a replacement for Mbappe, while at Chelsea Alvarez will compete with Jackson and Nkunku to ensure the main place. Apart from that, if he joins PSG, Alvarez can still win trophies every season, and still play in the Champions League every season, in this case Chelsea cannot do that.

This concern is quite reasonable because after all, even if you want to deny that Mbappe is the most influential player for PSG, it is clearly impossible considering that Mbappe is the backbone of PSG in recent seasons so that when he now leaves there will definitely be a slight gap even though it does not lead to performance and achievement in Ligue 1 but the impact will be felt in the productivity of goals owned because in the last few seasons Mbappe is a player who has always been the top contributor to goals for PSG.

Julian Alvarez is currently quite good, especially until now his performance has actually been wasted by City because of the intense competition for Alvarez's position so that this can be lured with a large offer so that he moves. But besides that there is also the name Kvaratskhelia who is currently sticking out when Mbappe leaves PSG this season.
What is clear is that these two players are still playing very well and are very worthy of being taken into account so that indeed this can be a good opportunity for PSG to change the way they approach players so that what has been done to PSG by giving more benefits to one of the players does not happen again in the future.

Playing in leagues as this that literally get most players career no longer staying long enough In the spot light is what I have always spoken about because there are some leagues a bright and promising young player gets to play in after which he's career will gradually fade off and will not be in the spot light any more because such league isn't ment to really being bright and brilliant young players to Lim light.

Mbappe was able to still be in the lime light in PSG due to the record he has been able to make for himself while he played for his country side at the world cup where he was then recognized as the youngest player at the world cup that year, after the world cup much attention was focused on him so it made him still stay in the Lim light even with the fact that he was playing in PSG and his frequent appearance at the champions league too also gave him a reason to still get the kind of attention that got him still staying valuable this long enough, most other PSG players don't get the kind of attention he gets.

Even victor osimhen wanting to go to pSG has never been a good idea for me because I believe it's not a league that will promote his growth well enough, PSG isn't a team that will help you career vet the kind of attention it needs for a player to really turn out successful enough in his career and that's why even mbappe with all the game he's got, he still didn't stay back but decided to leave for a better team where he will do better in his career.

PSG can offer Julian Alvarez a big salary but the problem is what about his future career? Julian Alvarez is a talented young player playing in one of the most competitive leagues in the world. If Julian Alvarez chooses to move to PSG then he will be able to win the Ligue 1 title but I am afraid his career will decline. Not many people watch Ligue 1 compared to the EPL. This is the same as what happened to Donnarumma, whose career is no longer in the spotlight because he chose to play in the farmers' league.

Reims currently was handled by Samba Diawara as interm manager he was replace Will Still who withdraw from his position as a manager of Reims last season this because Will Still felt he was failed to meet the targets given by Reims owner because Reims only finish at 9th place and out from European zone and indeed most likely Reims will not give the contract for Samba Diawara because his position as a manager is only temporary and now Reims still look for new manager for next season but unfortunately the news about Reims is still lack of information so we still don't know who is the candidates for Reims next manager

And indeed i was found the rumours on instagram that they want to hire Davide Ancelotti but i am not sure this news will be valid or not because there was no further explanation about this and Davide Ancelotti currently as the assistant of his father Carlo Ancelotti and he has done well at Real Madrid because his combination with Carlo Ancelotti can bringing this team to gets Champion League trophy and i believe someday Davide Ancelotti can being an good manager who can surpassing his father career and if Reims is really can hire him i think that would be very fantastic and i am sure Reims will performing much better under him

Not really sure whether Manchester City will let Julian Alvarez go with a big offer from PSG and is this just a rumor?
Julian Alvarez is still a bit young, while Manchester City prefers players who have very good talent and are still very young and have advantages in various places as you said.
PSG is currently looking for players who have higher talent after Mbappe left because PSG is worried that when Mbappe leaves him his performance will definitely decline so PSG is trying to bring in Julian Alvarez even though I think this will be very impossible.
Coming back to Manchester City, if they are tempted by the big offer from PSG and won't have a problem with Julian Alvarez leaving, that could happen but the only question is whether Julian Alvarez wants to risk his career with PSG who will forever be the rulers of League 1 without being able to win a title better.

Julian Alvarez would definitely be an amazing transfer for PSG without a doubt. He could play at striker, but he could play at wing and he could play even behind the striker as well as advanced midfield too, dude is basically great at multiple positions. Depending on what they need at that moment they could make it work and I believe that it would benefit them a lot.

This will not be a simple thing of course, but I believe that it is going to be not that impossible neither, we are going to see it happen. One hundred million is of course a lot, and I understand why it would be too expensive, even for PSG standards but it is still within the range that they could pay, so I feel like it could very well happen.

I doubt any other team can do it considering PSG previously lost Lionel Messi and Neymar but that did not affect their dominance in Legue 1 I believe Luis Enrique is much better than the previous coach, to defend the title will be easier for him to do. Ligue 1 is different and a strong team like PSG is difficult to beat because they have a much better squad and are supported by extraordinary finances.

The heavy burden that Luis Enrique must carry is bringing PSG to compete for the Champions League title. Because building a squad to be stronger and more solid is very difficult and he must really find the format of the players needed, not just big names.

Will Still has officially announced his resignation from reims this season after failing to bring reims to perform consistently and quite well in ligue 1 this season, at the beginning of coaching reims he was able to give a fairly good performance but unfortunately the team inconsistent performance certainly made him decide to resign from his position, currently the vacancy of the coach of course makes reims to immediately get a new coach ahead of next season,  At the moment I think Davide Ancelotti will be the right choice and will most likely be able to bring a significant change to Reims performance next season, but the change of coach alone is certainly not enough for Reims to compete in Ligue 1, if they also do not improve the squad or at least bring in new players to face the competition next season.

Davide Ancelotti has been an assistant coach and handling Reims will of course be his first experience coaching the club officially, although Davide Ancelotti has been an assistant coach so far, but with all the knowledge he has gained from Ancelotti in coaching a big team, of course it will be very useful to bring Reims to become a better team next season,  By coaching Reims next season, of course, it gives Davide Ancelotti the opportunity to apply all the lessons he has learned from his father so far.

Davide Ancelotti has been an assistant manager at Real Madrid and his previous teams with the same role were Everton, Napoli and Bayern Munich. He must have had a good level of experience so far. 

But I still have doubts about what he would do as a manager as it is going to be for the first time. If he has learned something good from at least his father in these years there is still a silver lining. Ancelotti is a great manager in the end. Maybe Davide can at least do better than Reims' previous manager who was Will Still. I believe he is more advantageous than him technically because of having a stronger background.

Although Davide has been an assistant coach for a long time and certainly has great experience as well but in reality, Davide was not so successful as a player. But indeed, having great experience or not as a player, but when they become a coach can indeed have good results and can also be bad. Therefore, being a great player or not, the reality is that it does not guarantee that someone will succeed or fail when they become a coach. But indeed, because Davide always seems to get great lessons from his father, then maybe accepting Reims offer will be a good choice. Because then, it will certainly make Davide get a new experience that was previously only an assistant coach, but at Reims later Davide will become the head coach.

Mbappe's departure from PSG certainly makes the opportunities for other teams in Ligue 1 to win the Ligue 1 title next season even greater, but is that actually the case? certainly not. Even LOSC Lille, who became champions in the 2020/21 season, almost couldn't get their title because the point difference was very small, IMO it's not about Mbappe leaving or not, but about whether PSG will experience a decline in performance or not. If PSG has unstable performance next season, then the answer is "Yes" for other teams in Ligue 1 who have the opportunity to win the title next season.

Yes, Mbappe has left, but this squad is deep. Without a question, they are still the rulers of France. Ligue 1? It is theirs to lose. Champions League is a beast, always will be, but hey, they're in the mix. Alvarez? Real potential exists in the youngster. Should PSG land him, they might cause trouble throughout Europe. And Enrique? He is a winner, that much is certain. He's not lost in the past; his attention is today. You want a coach just like that in your corner

PSG isn't going anywhere, so yeah. They are going to reload and return with a flourish. This team is made for this, even though Mbappe's loss is significant. They should win Ligue 1, and in the Champions League? Do not write them off

PSG is indeed very good in terms of squad, they can buy talented players at high prices, but losing Mbappe really affects the depth of PSG's squad because Mbappe is very important there losing him would create chaos in the PSG team, and it is very likely that PSG will not be able to conquer the French league again like they did last season.

Because a team like Olympique de Marseille next season will work hard to become champions, because these two teams have high integrity and also have strong playing ability, in my opinion next season Olympique de Marseille will disrupt PSG's desire to defend the league trophy, PSG will not The strongest favorites next season to win the French League, let alone the Champions League, because their decline has begun to appear at the end of last season.

Every season their goal is to win the Champions League title, and every season they always fail which makes them feel disappointed again and again. They had a chance this season, but they failed in the semifinal match against Borussia Dortmund, where they were actually the favorites to win the title.
Paris Saint Germain did everything they could to achieve their target, including spending a lot of money to win the title. However, it did not produce good results and they did not show any significant impact. What they haven't done is set a strong foundation, that might be the answer to the difficulties they are experiencing, they must have the courage to try it.
