The latest news is that it turns out that the rumors regarding Osimhen going to PSg this season are just rumors. In fact, Enruqie prefers to promote their own players as replacements for Mbappe. because he realized that they still had a number of players who were truly talented and very suitable for the French club. Randal Kolo Muani and also Gonçalo Ramos are the internal players who will be further promoted by Enrique in the next season.

With this news, Osimhen's chances of going to Arsenal are even higher. Because previously, not only PSG but also Chelsea had not focused on this Napoli player.

I looked for news related to Osimhen and PSG, but what I found was old news or rumors. Even though he was linked with PSG, based on reports, Romano clarified that Osimhen is currently not involved in further negotiations with other clubs, even though there are rumors circulating. In fact, it is not rumored that Paris Saint-Germain is seriously targeting this player from Napoli. However, Romano also reported that negotiations will begin next week with several clubs who want his services. It could be that Enrique will take part in persuading him to join the Parc des Princess. Who knows, PSG is waiting for the right momentum. Even though it seems like it will be difficult to bring him in, if the financial effort is commensurate, it can attract Osimhen's attention to join. well, who knows, anything could happen anyway. but if that doesn't happen, or PSG is more interested in other players. they can easily bring him in, especially since the player is also interested in the salary offered.

What is certain is that Paris Saint-Germain will look for options to keep their team competitive since Mbappe was confirmed to join Real Madrid.
IMO, for me PSG has a sufficient squad if only for Ligue 1. They have Gancalo Ramos, Komo Muani, Dembele and several other young players. and other problems, Enrique needs a midfielder like he wants. As for Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, not very reliable. perhaps, several PSG players will be released in this summer's transfer window.  and brought in some worthy entrants for several line sectors. I am sure that Enrique, with his experience, knows the needs of his team. especially, if the club returns to aiming for a Champions League mission. Therefore, there are no other words other than let's follow their hunt in the next transfer window.

If they do not make any adjustment to the team by introducing some new signings outside of the French League following the exit of Mbappe, trust me if I tell you that their highest achievement will be the French Lig 1 title next season. They should never nurse any ambition of getting close to the semi finals of the champions league like they did this last season. I am not saying that they do not have good players, just that the squad is not just competitive enough to face other tough European teams like Bayern Munic, Man City or Real Madrid. You should not forget that it is expected that Mbappe leaving will create a huge vacuum in the team which require an external person to fill.

PSG without Mbappe will not be as strong as they used to be, and winning the League 1 title is possible but might be a bit tricky and difficult because we have seen teams that tried to compete hard against PSG, and if these teams keep the pressure next season and PSG decided not to sign more players before the beginning of the season, then Brest, Lille, and some teams might win the League ahead of PSG.

I am very sure that PSG will use their money to sign more players to get a good replacement for Mbappe and some world class players that will keep the team going so that they will maintain their reputation of been the best team in the league.

When a club decline in performance, every member of the team will share the blame collectively and not all the blame pointed out to one person. We know how unplanned and challenging things have been for the Nigeria International, he's trying very hard to out himself back to good form because he needs to meet up the high expectations of fans and the club.

Are you pointing out the fact that Victor Osimhen doesn't have freedom of speech in Napoli? He's free and can take any decision that pleases him, he's one of the top goal scorers for the club and his contribution have been nothing but special and enormous.

If you talk about fan, PSG is losing a lot of followers right now. I am talking about the social media. Remember when Lionel Messi joined PSG, they were getting followers like crazy. I remember that I was actually trying to see how many followers they had gained. I would refresh the page once and it would go up like a couple of thousands. When Lionel Messi left PSG, they had lost almost around 800,000 followers only on Instagram alone.

now that Mbappé is also leaving PSG, I am not going to be surprised if I refresh the page and account goes down like it went up at the time Lionel Messi joined. It seems to me that at least a majority of PSG fans are actually there for some certain players. It is not like Real Madrid or Barcelona, because in those clubs it does not matter who stays or leaves, the follower count stays about the same. But I guess that is understandable because PSG does not have a history like them. They are only known for farming trophies in the Ligue 1 and not winning the Champions League title.

Well I say something, Oshimen's performance is not entirely his fault, it is also the fault of his coach, if the coach does not give him freedom to play as he makes his plays, he cannot do anything, he is tied, he has to follow the system under which the coach has assigned him, then in Serie A, Napoli was very bad, you can't deny it, they also had their good moment when they were champions, but times change, and football changes too, so now things are different for him, he already has other offers, PSG and Chelsea, either of the two teams would do him well, out of necessity it would be spectacular if he went to Chelsea who need to do something now.

Lille wanted to keep Fonseca badly. This says all about his abilities. But you know, when you're good, you're in demand. Everyone wants a piece of the action. And Fonseca, he's ready for the big leagues. He has the knowledge, guts, and vision to elevate Milan. His Lille record is excellent. He's a pitch genius. He takes risks and makes aggressive actions. Championing requires that. And Genesio? He's got work to do. Admittedly, Rennes wasnt great. Lille may be what he needs. Start over, new task. Undoubtedly, he has a wonderful team. He could ignite those guys, who knows? They may surprise everyone.

Ramos definitely looked like a great player, I think it wouldn't be really that bad to just not even buy any new players and just play the same PSG team without Mbappe, they would still win the league with this squad if you ask me. But, they won't do that because they have money, and when you have money that means we are not going to end up seeing someone who will do further, we are not talking about anything more.

We should consider the fact that we are going to make it work one way or another, and that means that we are going to see something change. We should probably consider how that type of situation could change peoples perspective, because if they have money and not spend, that would not be ideal situation for PSG, and fans would be mad.

It's not a question of replacing or not because in any case for Mbappe with his current condition I don't think he can be compared with some players especially for Ramos because they have different types. In terms of skill and popularity, Ramos still cannot be compared to Mbappe but this is a situation that must prove that PSG will continue to develop even better even though there is no Mbappe there.

They have until now been too dependent on players so that when these players leave it seems as if the club will not be able to develop very well. But in the end we also have to remember that this is a match between clubs where 11 players all have a role not just relying on one player alone and with Mbappe gone now PSG must be able to prove that they are not that dependent on Mbappe even though we know that in the last few seasons Mbappe was the backbone of the team. The last few seasons Mbappe was the backbone of PSG but now they have to get up because Mbappe is gone and it's time to now change the scheme that always relies on Mbappe and replace it with a good cooperation game so that they are glimpsed not only because of Mbappe but PSG is glimpsed because of a club that plays well in terms of performance and cooperation.

It would be better for Osimhen to play at PSG if he only stays at Napoli, because at PSG at least Osimhen can guarantee to get a trophy every season. Meanwhile, if Osimhen only plays at Napoli, the reality is that to being able to compete in the top four is also difficult for Napoli. Also, PSG recruiting Osimhen is not completely to replace Mbappe's role, because at least Enrique will also adapt the right strategy and tactics to the players in his squad. Moreover, PSG is still making great efforts to be successful in the Champions League and thus, of course playing at PSG will be better because of its continued efforts to make better improvements.

PSG needs winning men as you said but PSG doesn’t usually think about that, all they know is to sign young players their performance will not improve the way the team like and win them champion league, PSG has money to sign players but they don’t know how to sign some players who have experience of winning champion league, for me, PSG is not the best team in the world and they waste much on buying players like Messi and Neymar just to win champion league, a player like Neymar and Messi can’t win the champion league for PSG because they are out of their prime and even their performance is not good enough to make them get to semifinal of the champion league.

It will be very difficult for PSG to win the Champions League no matter how they try to sign any player to join the team, PSG doesn’t know how to convince young talented players, all they know is to sign a player with a lot of money and that is the main thing that use to affect players performance, a team like Chelsea and PSG will find it difficult to win champion league because they spend a lot on players who doesn’t worth the price they bought them and their first season they will start performing somehow poor.

Real Madrid is the only team in Champions League history to have won 15 Champions League titles. Where other teams put the Champions League title winning star above their club logo, Real Madrid added the star separately to their jersey because there was no other way. Real Madrid didn't have any quality finishers this season yet they won the Champions League trophy but next season one of their best finishers has already joined their club so imagine how formidable this team will be next season. But it will not be a surprise if they add a 16th title to their jersey next season as the team they have formed are favorites to win the Champions League title in the upcoming tournament as well.

The significant difference in terms of finance of course makes Ligue 1 not have competition like other leagues in Europe so far, PSG is too easy to dominate Ligue 1 and win trophies because their finances are quite strong at the moment compared to other teams who are only competing for slots to the Champions League or European League every season so far,  With strong finances, of course, it is very easy for them to bring in star players to add depth to the squad they have, while other teams in Ligue 1 actually survive only by selling their star players, making it difficult for them to compete in the championship all this time, Ligue 1 was previously a competitive league but after Naseer Al Khelaifi took over PSG, of course since then Ligue 1 has turned into a league farmers.

Like you, of course all of us here are a little confused about the cause of the difficulty of big investors being able to take over other teams in ligue 1, even though if we think, it is impossible that there is no interest from other big investors to be able to acquire other teams such as Marseille, Lille, Lyon or Monaco, to be honest I personally suspect that there seems to be something that does prevent foreign investors from acquiring teams in ligue 1 other than PSG,  because if we look at the management and governance of the team, didn't PSG also have bad management in the past? But strangely it is so easy for them to get a big sponsor like today, besides that I think when PSG was acquired by Naseer al Khelaifi at that time, PSG was not a better and more prominent team than other teams like Monaco.

This is also quite reasonable for Osimhen to consider because it is very clear that Ligue1 is still less popular than the EPL, La Liga and Serie A. So Osimhen himself must be willing to accept that this happens to him if he really wants to be in Ligue1 next season in the PSG squad which is generally always in the UCL, but is not very visible through the media when playing in Ligue1. Even though he himself can also make his career so brilliant in Ligue1 that in the end he can also make the choice to go to another league like Mbappe is currently doing.

Actually PSG performed quite well in the UCL. They made it to the semifinals and that means they are among the elite European clubs. But the problem is that Ligue 1 is often referred to as a farmers' league so not many media highlight Ligue 1. Honestly in my area if there are several matches in one night people will choose to watch the EPL, La Liga or Serie A rather than the Bundesliga or Ligue 1. If Osimhen wants to be a UCL star I think PSG is still very viable because they will almost always play in the UCL every season. But your performance in the league will not be highlighted by many media and this will affect Osimhen's career.

That match was a best match to enjoy because both team played well and gave best efforts to win this match. Camara performance was outclass and was looking with full energy and they played with full confidence. But I think, Metz could perform well from that performance and they could win the final . Match draw because both team did 2 goals and no team did one goal above from the other team. Mikautadze played well and his performance was at the top and Diallo performance was good and he was prominent player in the this match.

But shots of St-Étienne team were 33 and from which 12 were on target . There were good enjoyment for the audience because there are many less matches like that . The possessions of St-Étienne team were 67 percent and the passes of St-Étienne 635 and that is good figure as comparison to Metz team.

I will ask you, would you also say something like this when Mbappe was still on loan from Monaco with 14 scores achieved by Mbappe?
You may doubt Gonçalo Ramos, but look back at a player you are proud of with high talent, who used to be the same as Gonçalo Ramos when he first joined PSG, then do you still doubt him?
A player who has a higher talent like Mbappe needs time to achieve that success and you have to understand how your doubts are wrong for me.


Ambiguous?
Do you remember how in the 2017-2018 season Kylian Mbappe only scored 13 scores and now you are saying your doubts about Gonçalo Ramos when he first joined PSG and it's the same as you comparing the old players with the new players, it's clearly very different. .
It doesn't make sense if you say your doubts are without any basis just looking at the talent that Mbappe currently has while you ignore Mbappe's past, which for me is the same as Gonçalo Ramos.
If you still have doubts and don't believe it, you can look for more information regarding Mbappe in his past since he was with Monaco and until he first joined PSG.
Read this, so you have knowledge

Francesco Farioli is leaving Nice by the end of this month to start working for Ajax. Actually he had a really good start with Nice first. However things didn't go their way and fall behind their real potential for the season.  

If Nice were able to score more goals than only 40 then we would be talking about positive things for Farioli as well. But I think it was still unfair decision about him. He managed the team for only one season. Maybe the team couldn't score good enough but he still improved the position Nice finished at in the 2022/2023 season (from 9th to 5th). They are joining the Europa League now too. Why did the board still want him to leave anyway?

Yes, that is a positive side that can be taken from Mbappe's departure and they can use this amount for several players instead of just spending it on one player. However, with what Mbappe gave to Paris Saint Germain, it was an amount he deserved to receive, or in other words, what Paris Saint Germain spent could be paid for by Mbappe's good performance while wearing the Paris Saint Germain uniform. But still I could feel their loss when Mbappe decided to leave.
Luis Enrique has to move quickly in looking for the players he wants to bring in, because competition will always exist with other teams when they want the same players. Moreover, the players they are targeting are more career-minded. Because in my opinion Paris Saint Germain is not suitable for players who prioritize their career. This doesn't mean to demean them, but we can see for ourselves that when they compete in a more prestigious arena, they always find it difficult to do so.
