PSG wants to poach Joao Neves, even though this player has been a target for Manchester United and Arsenal for quite a long time. With this, Manchester United and Arsenal cannot relax, especially since their competitor is PSG, which we know is willing to spend so much money. I think now it depends on how these two teams convince Benfica with an attractive offer and a large amount of money.

Joao Neves has to consider his options because it concerns his future career and I think he should still think about his choice of Manchester United or Arsenal because we know that the EPL can provide tougher competition than Ligue One. On the other hand, if Benfica is only interested in money then Joao Neves will not be able to do anything because his release clause of 120 million euros can be very easily redeemed by PSG.

Where do you think he will go this summer? Or maybe he will stay at Benfica?

This criticism is deserved and I even agree with you that perhaps he could have received sharper criticism, but he is still lucky because the criticism we are hearing now is still within reasonable limits. However, amidst the criticism, Erik Ten Hag is a coach who doesn't want to be blamed and he tends to be someone who looks for scapegoats to blame, he doesn't look after his team's children, but instead he puts his team's children to blame.

He is also a tough coach and I think he has too much self-confidence. I mean confidence is something a coach should have, but he overdid it. Maybe we remember some time ago he said that Manchester United was on the right track. However, those of us who have seen their journey throughout the season will certainly not agree with what he said, because Manchester United's game is far from good, let alone being on the right track, in my opinion not at all.

Such criticism is lesser compared to what he will receive if him and his players doesn't perform better, his the coach and all the blames should go to him. During this season his way of substitution was very poor, imaging an intense match his bringing in Antony meanwhile we know his style of playing is for time waste and not that goal scoring kind. Onana and Amrabat at last became the initiator that delivered them the trophy they won against Manchester City so they had a great end of season.

It doesn't make sense when a team sells most of its players, because it won't be easy, and besides, they also don't have a guarantee that they will get all the players they want. As you also said, they are like a new team that has to start from 0 and that is not an easy thing to do, because of course there are things that will hinder them.
It is better for them to complement the existing squad, but they must really look for players based on quality and ability, not based on their closeness to the coach. because currently I see that Manchester United's recruitment of players tends to be based on their closeness to a coach. Erik Ten Hag brought in players who he thought were good, but in fact they didn't have much of an impact on the game, and perhaps some of the players he brought in failed to give their best performance for Manchester United.

After all in League 1 there is no club that has the same strength as PSG, so I wouldn't worry that they would easily get through League 1. Yes I agree that the Champions League is still the biggest obstacle and mystery for PSG until now. Because of that they have changed coaches anda bought expensive star players, though PSG still doesn't have a big chance of reaching the final or even winning a trophy. For some reason it is clear that PSG level of motivation and struggle cannot be compared to the struggle of other teams who are fighting from zero. PSG is a team that is considered instant, does not have quite an impressive history in Europe. Maybe because their finances have never experienced difficulties, it makes it difficult for this club to understand what it means to struggle for a team to reach Champions League level. Plus the club management is not very serious about creating history. At least manager Enrique can gradually eliminate things like that, Enrique's task is quite difficult to change PSG thinking patterns to a more effective realm in building a team.

Selling all players is a tough challenge. They are like they are going to create a new club. New adaptations, new adjustments, it will take away the characteristic of the team game that the coach has created. So selling all the players is not a good idea. Look at all this time at the big clubs, they have only sold a few players. This is the reason why some clubs give contracts with a duration of 3-5 years. Very few players have a 1-2 year contract only. I just found out if Man United will remain with Ten Hag next season.

But it cannot be denied that strong finances are capable of quickly building a team as happened with the Manchester City team.

And for PSG I think they are going through a process and if their management can build this team with a solid framework for the long term I think they will be able to achieve success like that of Manchester City.
In Ligue One, I think PSG will still dominate even though they lost Mbappe because overall the League 1 competition does not have fierce competition.
And for the vacancy left by Mbappe, I don't think it will be difficult for PSG to find a replacement, especially since they have a lot of money.

I agree with you that wealth does not guarantee success as long as they cannot use it very well. But if they can use it very well, then I'm sure they will also be very successful. We can see the success achieved by Manchester City in the Premier League and even in the Champions League. It starts from the finances they have which are very good, and they are also able to use them wisely so that it brings success.

Meanwhile, in my opinion, Paris Saint Germain are not that good at utilizing the wealth they have so they can't do much when they are in more difficult competitions. Maybe in Ligue 1 they really dominate, but in my opinion that's not interesting at all because there are almost no teams there to give them tough competition, because there they have all the advantages, wealth, quality of players and so on. Some people even say that Ligue 1 is a farmers' league and that has bad connotations.

Having wealth will not guarantee success. It is clear how Nasser Al Khelaifi spends money to bring big names into his squad. In fact, this did not bring any success in the European realm they can only control France. They are not a team that European clubs are afraid of, let alone them have just lost a very loved player, Nasser Al Khelaifi Mbappe, this will make them lose another player with that quality.

I think next season PSG will lose in the French League 1 because they are no longer a strong team, I think next season PSG will suffer if the management is not good at buying players.

Manchester United decided that if club is looking to hold these players below and they have no intention to sell these players. The club has no intention to put all of them for sale in the summer transfer season

1. Lisandro Martinez.
2. Mainoo.
3. Garnacho.
4. Onana
5. Hojlund
6. Diego Dalot

Manchester United is now open to any potential offers for players other than those six listed above, it's caused by those players have been included on ten hag's future project. I expect Bruno Fernandes, Rashford, and possibly Anthony to depart the club if they receive notable offers from other club. People were disappointing it how united put bruno fernandes for sale, although he has always become the main actor in the build up of manchester united. I've heard that many of them are now receiving offers from other clubs like brunoi fernandes which has been reported being approached by some clubs. Bruno is good but im still wondering why united decides to sell him.
INEOS has currently pledged between 50 m - 60 m for the Manchester United move. Selling the players will increase Manchester United's budget to overhaul the team this season.

I'm still confident Manchester United can reconstruct their club after a disastrous performance last season, ten has is now running his plan to overhaul the squad. It's a disgrace that Manchester has again recorded the worst outcome in club history of club, despite United's FA Cup victory that helped united to ruled three teams at once. They shall not do the same in the upcoming season. Manchester united must be even more competitive.

First of all, I believe that no player is bigger than the club, and every player is replaceable, so the hierarchy of pSG should stop crying over a spilt milk and focus more attention on how to improve the club in every aspect, though Kyler mbape is a very quality players no doubt, but his absence wouldn't change anything if psg does their homework properly, because in the past, I believe that bigger and better players has left this psg team, so it's nothing new, it was too much desperation shown by Nasser Al- khalaifi that makes psg looks like they can't do anything without him, which is very much wrong.

Now that he is no longer at the club, the best thing they can actually do for themselves and the team, is to invest heavily in this transfer window on more quality players, than build the team on a single player, because I believe that if they can bring in more quality players, they already have one of the best coach in the business to make psg great again.

PSG need to be doing better in the CL. They spend so much money on transfers and wages, they really have no excuse not to do better in the CL.

Winning the French Ligue 1 is the bare minimum expectation of any manager they employ. I would love to see how much money they have spent under Qatari ownership with 0 CL titles.

PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi will have more calculating figures to spend in the transfer window. PSG management still intact, we've come to realized how the presence of Kylian Mbappe was to the club and in his absence, the club will probably fumbled but there's always need to panic. Luis Enrique will worked definitely on the improvement of the club. He will selectively choose the players that will becoming professionals in his team, because they're having main targets to strive for.

The money that PSG has has no meaning after years of failing to win prestigious trophies in Europe. They have to learn from other teams who prioritize player cohesion to produce good cooperation. PSG management must learn more from Leverkusen and Inter Milan, both teams succeeded in building strong squads using little known players, but in the end their names became a hot topic of conversation due to their disciplined play and ability to improve the team's performance. The players' trust in the coach will produce a solid team, now PSG must give Luis Enrique the freedom to determine which players he wants to bring in and which players he wants to let go so that the PSG squad becomes more solid next season.

In this article, it suggests that Evernote is actually literally asking for twice the price that Manchester United has actually offered them for him. So there is no way they are going to let him go for such a low price. But who knows maybe Manchester United can actually try out something around the 50 million region. But that might still be not enough. I thought 60 is a good price for him. To be honest, I was actually a little surprised that Manchester United offered only 35 million for him. By the way, is it confirmed that they actually offered 35 million? Should have gone a little higher for a player like him in my opinion. But at the same time, it is also true that if they are actually going through the 70 million region they will find a lot more options as well.

Even though PSG is a rich club, they have failed to live up to expectations in Europe. I think the management ranks must receive serious attention to be improved and must be filled with people who understand the rules and targets of the club. Now is a new era for PSG to overhaul the squad after Mbappe's departure. On the one hand, the French striker is really needed, but on the other hand, he is a huge burden on the club because of his salary and attitude which must be put first.

PSG will still be able to shine under the guidance of Luis Enrique specifically in League 1, but in the Champions League it is always difficult for every team. It's just that the PSG president has to reorganize management, achievement targets and transfer policies.

We all know how Julian Alvarez performed while he was part of the Manchester City squad, he can play very well and is able to optimize his performance in every condition, this will be reason for Manchester City to keep him.
After all, he is still very young and gaining experience and fighting for titles will certainly be very important for the progress of his career, staying with Manchester City could still be the right choice for Julian Alvarez.
In addition, regarding the rumors circulating about his departure from Manchester City, Julian Alvarez also gave his own response, stating that he was still very comfortable playing for Manchester City.
But it also doesn't rule out the possibility of him leaving Manchester City if another big team makes an offer, to be honest I would also agree if there was another team he wanted but at least it was strong team like Real Madrid.
We see what happens in the future, whether Julian Alvarez will leave or stay with Manchester City, which has also given him the UCL and Premier League titles.

Enrique was never the right choice in the first place if you ask me, but he made the right decision as PSG is a club that is paying loads and loads of money to everyone without actually correctly calculating what they can expect in return.

Even when PSG had Mbappe in the squad, Enrique fleet was not favored, especially next season after they were left behind by the French star. Indeed, on the one hand, Mbappe departure will make other players shine more, because in the previous season they were under Mbappe shadow. Luckily PSG has a quality manager at the moment, where PSG management only needs to provide full support to Enrique to rebuild the depth of the squad.

Therefore, PSG will still be able to dominate Ligue 1 without any worries after Mbappe departure, even for the next few seasons, I don't think PSG will experience significant pressure from other contestants. Meanwhile in the Champions League, PSG has many choices to maintain its ambitions, choosing the instant method with recruiting star players is one of them. But I think PSG would be better off doing it differently this time, they would be better off building a strong foundation with the players available, especially giving more opportunities to their young players.

The understanding that makes me laugh when you talk about the comparison between Lamborghini and Toyota is the difference in performance. Mbappe is one of the best players currently being targeted by big teams. Luckily, Real Madrid won Mbappe's heart so he chose Real Madrid as the team he wanted to support. Mbappe's performance will make Real Madrid unbeatable. Real Madrid's strength is increasing and Real Madrid's chances of achieving victory in every match they face will be very high.
