Obviously, Neymar is not leaving PSG now, the luxury that PSG offers is hard to come by with other clubs. One of the reasons Neymar moved from Barcelona ​​because PSG offered double the salary he received at Barcelona. PSG ambition to win the title on the Europa stage is no joke, PSG are willing to spend large sums of money to achieve their dreams, including extending the contract of Neymar who does not always appear consistent as the most expensive player PSG has ever had.
Right now situation is not clear as most chances PSG management wants Neymar to leave this club with mutual understanding but no club is going to offer salary like PSG is giving right now, and he is not accepting cut in this, so this all is interested but most chances he is going to stay here for another season if PSG have no good offer.
But, we can expect one thing if Newcastle United having some good improvement in this season then surely they are going to have him in their team because here again one biggest player from Gulf is involved, and he wants few start players in his team, but they are going to do this all in installments as any quick big investments can create problems for them, so hopefully his next destination could be Premier League.

If I am not mistaken, I thought Neymar was also going to leave the club. But they came to a mutual understanding that he is going to stay at PSG. And before Neymar signed any contract with PSG there were a lot of rumors about him winning the club.

A lot of people said that Neymar wanted to leave the club but PSG urged him to stay. Many people said that Neymar preferred to stay in the club and PSG wanted him to leave.

In the end, he will stay with the club, and PSG is currently offering much more money than any other club. And that type of money is not easy to come by at all. And his performance hasn't been the best in recent times. So not a lot of teams would be likely to be interested in him at this stage of his career.

Why the French giants haven't won the Champions League, despite having a star-studded team.
I can answer that with a question: why Manchester City didn't win Champions League although they have one of the best squad? Why Bayern didn't make it so far in CL although dominating Bundesliga by far and having many stars?
It isn't a matter of how much good players you have, it is a matter of how coherent is the players in every game, how tactically good is the coach and how much injuries they have in addition to how many mistakes were made especially in case of lack of concentration due to exhaustion.
Real Madrid won its game although being behind thanks to the lack of vigilance of their opponents when facing the dangerous offence of RM.. Ancelotti made mistakes but their rivals did worst. That's football after all.

Paris Saint-Germain is a club that has invested a lot of cash to build a competitive squad in Europe. Even though Les Parisiens finished second in the 2019–2020 Champions League, they only made it as far as the semifinals the following year.
Paris Saint-Germain performance declined in the 2021/2022 Champions League when Lionel Messi was there, and PSG even lost in the round of 16 after being eliminated by Real Madrid.
Paris Saint-Germain actually had a chance to go further in the Champions League last season. However, Gianluigi Donnarumma's mistake against Real Madrid was a disaster.

Why the French giants haven't won the Champions League, despite having a star-studded team.
This has been discussed previously, what causes a club as rich as PSG until now to not be able to get the champion's league trophy, the reason is only one, that's because PSG is a less compact team (between players), This has been proven with PSG training videos, where Neymar seems to reject mbappe and Neymar only focuses on Messi, and vice versa. here we already know that the big job that galtier has to do is to improve the prestige between these star players.

If anyone in this forum opens the topic of betting on which team will win Ligue 1 for next season, of course I will choose PSG, LOL Cheesy.
Exactly I will bet for PSG but I want to predict which one next team can destroy with PSG dominance for next season, will Lyon, Marseille or AS Monaco can be candidate with Ligue 1 trophy.
It will obviously be difficult and I wouldn't even dare to predict anything about who will be able to tackle PSG next season but I might see a better competition in the bottom 2 position next season. Actually this season is also quite good but maybe next season will be even better, especially with some clubs who are now strengthening by adding some players who are considered suitable.

I think Messi is staying and there is no merit to any other things. Sure he may make a longer contract eventually but there is a long time until his current one ends, so he could just take his time and the team could take their time as well. I still think him going back to Barcelona to play under Xavi would be very good, he would retire while playing for his old buddy and that would be a much better deal for them.

But, if he is not going back to Barcelona, then he should probably stay with PSG who will be the only team willing to pay that much for him. Famous players who end up leaving their teams start to tour around teams because once you sell a ton of jerseys, you don't do that every single year.

PSG has successfully get Vitinha from Porto with 40 millions euro and he was officially announced to the public yesterday and Vitinha will get long term duration contract 5 years until 2027 this is good for PSG because they really need new player on midfield position and he can be good choice as the substitute of Idrissa Gueye or Marco Verratti especially last season he is one of the key player who help Porto get Portugal league title
Well, hopefully Vitinha can really contribute to PSG because even though he's one of the good Porto players, he's not that great at making goals and assists. Because for the central midfield position of course it would be better to have a good collection of assists, but not for Vitinha and moreover Ligue 1 will certainly be more difficult. I personally can't expect too much with statistics like this, but let's look forward to his performance next season with PSG.
Well, for me, the role that Vitinha will play is very important, since I am one of those who think that by dominating the midfield you have a won game, of course, very different from Italian soccer, who are experts in defense, in the case of the French I think the team is very well balanced, they could need to strengthen the defense, they have a good midfield, very good forwards and recoverers, but I don't see the center backs as very complete, it's strange to see a center back like Canavaro was in Italy, or as he was a full-back like Roberto Carlos or Paolo Maldini, if PSG are looking for a good full-back and central defender, I think they would be consecrating themselves as one of the best in the world.

I don't think they (Lille) will have another chance to win Ligue 1 next season, it will even be difficult for them to be at the top of the table. We can see their achievement last season, they can only finish in the 10th place. Even if there are teams competing with PSG next season, of course they are Marseille, AS Monaco, Olympique Lyonnais, Rennes or Nice. Do you think that any team except them can compete with PSG next season? Let me know.
No doubt all people here will bet for PSG winning Ligue 1 again for next season, but not pessimistic about other team like Lyon, AS Monaco and Marseille become candidate winner of Ligue 1. Ligue 1 transfer player still not dominance by other team except with PSG because other team not have enough money. Last season only Marseille as competitor for PSG and at the end league have AS Monaco but almost league ended but can't give anything difficult for PSG to be the winner of Ligue 1.

Well clearly PSG is a team that is undoubtedly the best candidate to win the French League, even though they had problems at the end in the UCL I think they can overcome and win everything, if they continue to have level 1 players it's obvious , but I think that to ensure they need to have another coach, one like Zidane. In the end, I don't know what happened with the Zidane case, there was speculation that he could go to PSG and at the same time be the technical director of France in the World Cup.

The situation is the same as in the Bundesliga where only one team dominates the League. This is very boring, especially since Paris Saint Germain is inhabited by many star players. Of course it is difficult for other teams to surpass what Paris Saint Germain currently has. Indeed, their stable finances make them free to sign players of fantastic value. I'm not sure that other teams will displace PSG from the pinnacle of dominance.
Sometimes big players and financial strength of a team is not a criteria for winning trophies. We have seen teams with less financial backing pulling surprises and outsmarting the money bags. An example is Leicester City in the 2015-16 Premier League campaign. The team was one of the cheapest costing just £72 million far below high spending teams like Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United. But with discipline and hard-work Claudio Ranieri's men won the English Premier league for the first time in their 132-year club history. Although PSG has dominated the French League for few years now, but it would not also be a surprise to see another team winning the league this season.

Of course it isn't good to see a specific team dominating the season in the Ligue 1 all the time. But as long as the rest of the teams don't take big actions to get ahead of PSG it is difficult to see different teams making it to the championship. Lille did this yes but it was like a one-time success. They didn't have an incredible squad like PSG had. If some team revolutionize their squad and start playing big then we can start seeing some competition in the league finally.

Not really difficult depending how Lille can destroy with PSG dominance last two season, unbelievable with Lille success defeated PSG actually when league almost finish and left few points only to be champion of Ligue 1. But last season not have any team success made PSG faced difficulty with Ligue 1 trophy, left many points from second position standing looks financial have by PSG most dominance than other team. Nowadays not any new investor coming to Ligue 1 club and looks PSG will be dominance again for next season and have better financial than other team, but will see the unbelievable mission did by Lille to destroy PSG dominance on Ligue 1 again?

There hasn't been much news about Messi at PSG so far, and it doesn't seem like the media are too interested in the rumors about him this season especially about the future. I read one of the news in the local sports media that PSG might make a new contract offer for Messi until 2024, that is a good thing to hear even though Messi actually has the opportunity to leave PSG for another interested team. him at the end of his contract.
Because the possibility is certain that he will stay this season, so no matter how strong the speculation is, not many people will be interested.
Of course we are also talking about his salary which is big enough so which club can match him at the moment and even if there is, would Messi want to. This also showed that he would definitely endure so that no matter how strong the rumors were, things like this would be debunked by themselves.

No, I'm sure not. PSG will win the title again and they will still be the dominant team in Ligue 1. Lille will not be able to do much, consider the quality of the team and you will probably get the right answer to the question.

It will be difficult to see another team that will win in Ligue 1 as long as PSG financial dominance is still there, once I say "Financial Domination" Cheesy. It's true what you said, even if Lille did it before, but it will be a one-time champion. If we want to see Ligue 1 champions from other teams, they must also have a financial condition that is at least almost the same as PSG. Although until now they have not made a significant incoming transfer, but we can see how they will act in the transfer market.
It can be said that this is Lille's best achievement and will not be repeated as long as PSG is still as it is today, both financially and in terms of players.
Their dominance is strong in Ligue 1 and that is a reality because it is very difficult for other clubs to be able to compete when dealing with superior clubs with financial conditions and abundant players.

1xBit.. recovered their reputation
and for Ligue 1 it looks like PSG don't have a strong rival to disrupt their dominance like Bayern in the Bundesliga.
after Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) bought PSG, until now PSG continues to dominate Ligue 1 (they shaped PSG into a super rich club with many expensive players inside)

maybe other teams like Lille, Monaco and Nice need luck to be able to shift PSG from their dominance in Ligue 1

PSG has not become like Bayern Munich and Juventus but with rich ownership, then PSG will follow or will have the same trail as Bayern Munich 10 consecutive titles and Juventus 9 consecutive titles. Because in Ligue 1 there is only Lyon whose record has not been broken so far, Lyon has 7 successive titles in Ligue 1 and PSG has only 4 titles in a row. So yes, PSG have started by winning the title yesterday and will continue for the following seasons.
with what PSG have done and with what they have it is very possible for them to dominate Ligue 1 for a natural time in the future, even as now PSG seems to have won before the competition started, it can be seen from the squad they have. now in Europe's top leagues there are only Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga which are heavily dominated by 1 team while Serie A is far different, even now Juventus has fallen far behind several other teams.
and for Ligue 1 it looks like PSG don't have a strong rival to disrupt their dominance like Bayern in the Bundesliga.

It looks like PSG's interest in Ronaldo didn't last long. They thought of bringing him as well this summer. However they seem like they haven't got any intention in that way anymore. I don't think that PSG need Ronaldo now too. Ronaldo is a striker in the end and they have already Mbappe and Icardi. Let's say they had only Mbappe this would still not change anything. Because a player like Ronaldo wouldn't like to be benched in the end. PSG wouldn't change the attacking line of Mbappe, Neymar and Messi that easy too.
You know, after Ronaldo do that with Manchester United, not many clubs want to deal with the Portuguese. This is not good for the club, for its management and even for the players with whom you played. Need to have the courage to say it like it is, to say that you want to leave the club in advance, when the team is counting on you, it will not be a surprise to everyone. Moreover, if Ronaldo claims that he is full of energy and ready to play at a high level for a few more years, then what's the problem, to fight together with Manchester United, finish the season in the top 4 and play in the Champions League.
